Hello, background I mostly followed these guides to build a raid1 workstation using (2) 2T seagate drives: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86+raid+lvm2-quickinstall.xml http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Software_RAID_Install http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/Software
Since I'm just using a very simple partion scheme raid 1(boot, swap, /) I decided to forgo LVM, for now. Maybe on the next install, I'll get Dale to coach me on LVM2 ....? ;-) Both drives are identical (edited to fit gmane): Disk identifier: 0xab83344a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 526335 262144 fd Lraid auto /dev/sda2 526336 10573823 5023744 fd Lraid auto /dev/sda3 573824 3907029167 1948227672 fd Lraid auto OK so my question is does this fstab look ok, workable? improvements? none /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,rw,user 0 0 shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /usr/local/video2 ext4 defaults 0 1 /dev/md1 /boot ext4 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/md3 / ext4 noatime 0 1 /dev/md2 swap swap defaults 0 0 I did not setup initramfs, as those steps where not part of the guides, but googling I did see many places where initramfs was suggested. thoughts and comments? http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Initramfs It's my first gentoo software raid..... My email is down; so only post to this list! hopeful this AM, James
