Why?? What do you want to do?? Do you need to install a CentOS virtual
guest with a mdraid-1?? IMHO, It make no sense ...

Maybe hardware raid would be the only way to get raid. Anyway, I now feel the pull of KVM, so for my part I don't need the answer anymore. - Jussi -- Jussi Hirvi * Green Spot Topeliuksenkatu 15 C * 00250 Helsinki * Finland Tel. +358 9 493 981 * Mobile +358 40 771 2098 (only sms) jussi.hi...@greenspot.fi * http://www.greenspot.fi ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Can I combine VMWare ESXi (free version) virtualization and CentOS mdraid level 1? Any pointers how to do it? I never used VMWare before. Not if you want to run ESXi on bare metal; ESXi is an OS in it's own right. VMware Player/Server/Workstation OTOH will run on top of mdadm as it needs a host OS and doesn't care what it is given as a block device. -- Drew Nothing in life is to be feared.

Maybe hardware raid would be the only way to get raid. Hardware raid is the easy way to go. But, you should be able to add virtual disks to a guest from ESXi from 2 different physical drives, then let the guest run software raid over them. The guest doesn't know the disks are virtual and will do about anything it could do on its own physical machine. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
