RAID

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
We will use the robust native Linux software RAID.
It's a feature that can be used on the Pandora, although not as useful than on a PC or a server, so let's have fun with it
I will cover here only a RAID 1 (mirror) on two SD cards, as it should be the more interesting for a server usage because under read load, you can reach about 27MB/s against 16MB/s on one card.
A SD + USB drive can also work although untested. As a two SD + USB drive.
This array will be mounted as /srv , the standard server folder.

So you have to partition your system SD card differently than the default SL4P setup.
In this example, we will use the recommended minimal 8G card for the slot 1.
You can use a different sized card for the right slot. The minimum size is 4G for this second card, and we will use 4G in this example.
The RAID 1 partitions must have the same exact size.

6G ext2 for the system
256M for the swap

That's all for now, the third partition will be created under Slackware, and will be:

1.5G RAID

We will left 256M free. NEVER fill an entire drive with a RAID array. Drives, ie. all 8G, doesn't necessary offer the same exact capacity, so you can get in trouble if you add a drive 32MB short.

256M for the swap

That's all for now, the other partitions will be created under Slackware, and will be:

1.5G unformated RAID
2G unused. Do what you want with it.

Uncompress the rootfs on the first SD card, first partition, put the card in your OP, and boot it.
Log in.

mkdir /srv-save
mv /srv/* /srv-save/

cfdisk

cfdisk

Depending the size of your RAID partition and he data on it, it can take a while.
