Sorry about that digression. So is there a platform that handles RAID really well? I went to OpenSuse for mapping. But now photography is my main work, so maybe I should be looking at installing the distro which is preferrred by developers of the GIMP and also Darktable.
If you want to have root on a ZFS RAID then Ubuntu is likely to be the best option. But I recommend not doing that, it's more pain than you want IMHO.
I just can't afford to fiddle for two weeks to get a result. And the OpenSuse and Ubuntu fora have freaked me out, somewhat.
Setup a mdadm RAID-1 for /boot (and root in the case of ZFS) and then use ZFS or BTRFS for the rest. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
