You know, after reading all the howtos and such, I created a RAID 5 array with just three commands
(after creating the partitions with fdisk) mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sda1 /dev/ sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf Why does there need to be a 100 page howto when it's just three commands? I know that managing the array and recovering from a failure is more involved than this, but seriously, i was amazed at how easy this was. Thanks to the people who answered previous questions and got me up and running. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
