This is repost from freebsd-newbies mailing list since this might be a more suitable mailing list for my question.
I am pretty new to FreeBSD but thought it might be a nice idea to migrate from a Linux server to a FreeBSD one.
My question is regarding software RAID-1 for this FreeBSD box. I have
two qually sized IDE hard drives and I installed FreeBSD 4.8 on the other one. Now the question is: can I make a RAID-1 array of these
two disks while FreeBSD is installed on the other one (using vinum or
other...)? Or how do I get RAID-1 to work on these two disks? FreeBSD got one slice from each disk that occupy the whole disk. Only the first disk is partitioned into 4 pieces (details about the partitions might be unneccesary...?).
I've read some of the vinum documentation but it is unclear to me if it is possible to set up a RAID-1 on a running file system - and if my assumptions are correct, that it is impossible, it is unclear to me how to set up this software RAID-1?
Regards,
Johan Paul
