The present setup is a software raid on two SCSI -3 barracuda drives, 5 and
9 gb. The controller is an AHA-3940 that i bought many many years ago ;)
/dev/sda is my 5gb disk, and its placed as disk 0 in the array
/dev/sdb is the 9gb disk, and it is disk 1.
I will attempt to reverse the order, and change my 'chunk size' to 64 from
its original 8.
I imagine i will do something like this then:
mkraid /dev/md0
mkpv /dev/md0
fdisk /dev/md0 (and create a partition)
mke2fs|mkreiserfs /dev/md0
Something I will bring up again. Am i supposed to use fdisk on a raid
array? Most documentation ive ran into has essentially omitted any mention
of it. When i do create a partition on a raid array, partition 1 is listed
as /dev/md0p1. This presents a problem, as there is no /dev/md0p1.
Any idea?
Jason
