I'm helping a friend install Gentoo on a new Dell PowerEdge 2850. It's
got an on-board RAID card and he was wanting RAID-1. I get Gentoo to
boot from the LiveCD, step through the install docs until I get to the
partitioning stage. At this point I'm in unfamiliar territory since
I've never worked with RAID before. I can see the kernel module is
loaded and in use as megaraid_mm. But from what I can see, [c]fdisk
isn't seeing any raid arrays. I don't have any /dev/sd*. I do have
/dev/rd/0 through 15 but cfdisk says it's 8MB. I also see
/dev/mapper/control but nothing else in /dev/mapper.
Where do I go from here?
Assuming I can partition from fdisk, should I put the whole thing in
RAID-1? I've seen places that say do swap on each drive, not mirrored.
I'm not sure how you'd do that either.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
