[cobalt-users] Cobalt Raq4r Question

["Sam Dement" <sdement@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I just started using a Cobalt Raq 4r.  The software Raid 1 that is used on
this system is not clearly explained on the Cobalt site.  By researching
other Raid sites, I understand that with Raid 1, all writes to one disk will
automatically be written to the second disk.  These sites also say that
reads are done from both disks in a round robin, kind of like load
balancing.
Is this the case on the Cobalt Raq 4 or is the second disk just a mirror for
backup purposes.  If it is just a mirror, can any tweeks be implemented to
make it function as a true Raid 1.

Thanks for any assistance.
