[sclug] RAID 1 adventure

Has anyone tried setting up Software Raid 1 on their Linux box? I have a 
spare hard drive the same size and speed as my current drive, and it 
strikes me as a good way to deploy it.  Some advice about gotcha's and 
so on will be appreciated.

I'm using Mandrake 9.1, BTW, with a Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm 40G 
drive, and the spare is an IBM Deskstar 60GXP 7200rpm 40G which I 
acquired as a warranty replacement.
