Is it possible to add a 3Ware IDE Escalade 7000 to a working Debian (3.0) system - and thus mirror the existing drive.?
I currently have a single drive with two partitions "/" and "/boot" - and a swap partition. I am thinking of purchasing a 3Ware card - and a second disk to do RAID 1. I am assuming since the first drive may be smaller than the second new drive - I would be mirroring the size of the first drive - and the rest of the space on the newer (larger) drive is lost? Is their a reference somewhere on how this is achieved? Lastly - assuming my existing hard drive is relatively small (say 6Gb) - and the new drive is (say) 40Gb - after I have the second disk synced - could I then replace the first drive with a (say) 40 Gb and then make use of the full drive as a mirror - either by extending the partition size or by adding another partition - or am I really nuts???? Perhaps it is time for a fresh install! Cheers, Col. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
