Hello everybody,

My problem is as follows:

I want to create a raid5 with 3 disks for my data.
Now i'm wondering if I will still be able to access my data if my gentoo system breaks,
e.g. through knoppix or other liveCDs?

Thank you for your help,


Matthias

MatzeG,

Provided your liveCD has raid support, either built in or as a module - yes.
You should test this before you actually need it.
