I"m brand new to this so please be gentle.
1.
On Raspberry Pi with a big enough SD Card, would it be:
A) Possible & preferable
B) Possible but unnecessary
C) Something else
to attempt to create partitions on the SDcard for a RAID array?
2.
After the initial install, will I be able to update the SDCard image straight from the PI, if for instance I want to change from Debian to Fedora or Arch?
This is purely for information, the answers will not dissuade me from purchasing a PI, but I may keep it for myself and give my Aeons old PC to the kid.
Thanks.
Re: RAID & also Updating SD Images.
I don't see the point in creating a RAID array on the same SD card? Although I could see the point of of RAID 1 across two cards using a USB Hub, Debian does support software RAID and I can see plenty of examples via Google to guide you.
Not sure how quick it would be though – does the Rpi support USB 3?
as to your second question, the Rpi will load whatever it finds on the SD card, so you could build up a collection of Linux distros (plus other OS).
