i have about 20 disks that were apparently striped together using XLV, i
havent booted them up yet but before i do, i have a few questions:

1. does it matter which disk is connected to which controller number ?

2. if one disk is missing does that mean the whole XLV is kaputt ?

thanks for any tips on that.
