I have 2 120GB IDE drives in the second IDE controller of a
 P4 debian/sarge box that I would like to set up as a raid1 array.
 Using info from the following links,

Are you aware that using 2 disks on the same controller is generally
regarded as a "bad thing"[tm]?

I had personally lost access to a 2nd drive when one drive on the same bit
of cable failed. Fortunately in my case, I didn't lose data on the good
drive, but I wasunable to access it until I powered the PC down and
removed the failed drive.

Read the paragraph under "Fault Survival" at:

I'm sure you know this... Just checking....

	Actually, I was not aware of that.  Thanks for scaring me! =)

That said, hopefully this setup will not stay long like that; it is 
almost a validation/test setup.
