Multiple RAID Volumes

[Markus Hitter]

Recently I added a pair of identical hard drives to my G4 in the  
intention to set up a bunch of mirrored volumes. The original drive  
remains in the box as boot volume.

Creating a mirror of both disks is a snap in disk utility, but there  
seems to be no option to partition the resulting RAID.

Partitioning both drives identical first, then creating mirrored  
RAIDs of each volume pair appears to work ... up to two (2) volumes.  
Attempting a third pair gives all sort of errors and a corrupted,  
unrecoverable RAID.

That "+" (plus) sign at the bottom left of the RAID volumes list  
appears to add additional RAID volumes, but only the first one  
accepts volumes to be added.


So, how would I put six mirrored partitions onto two drives?


Thanks,
Markus
