Reminder -- RAID 5 is not your friend

Regardless of which RAID level, Mark Dulcey if I recall made a very 
important point, and that is if you have disks from the same 
manufacturer and the same lot number, the chances of a simultaneous 
failure is pretty decent. Im my case, I have a Seagate and a WD. Now, if 
I could only get pvcreate to work (not only did it fail in the way I 
posted a while back, I ended up doing a complete reinsatall of Fedora 
12, and it failed during the write to disk phase. I was able to install 
SuSE 11.2 with RAID1, but upon boot, it was unable to locate the root 
partition. Being that I prefer Fedora at this moment, I reinstalled 
Fedora 12 and will file a bugzilla in the near future.
