hi, i tried software raid just for the heck of it a few weeks back.. anyway i found it too easy..
fdisk the partitions to the linux raid type (i think 'fd'is the label code) and then set the /etc/raditab to whatever partitions you want to include. believe me the raid-howto that jasmeet referred to is quite important if you wish to know about the jargon like left-symmetric etc.. which are used in the tab file... (i mean, its better to waste time reading than to say sorry once your data is in it..!! ) oh, you also need to do an mkraid on the partitions (i did, i am not sure whether its required...), and raidstart/raidstop would help doing what the names say. also try /usr/share/docs/raid-xxxx/samples on rh systems... for sample configs.. affly robins On Fri, 2003-07-04 at 13:43, Jasmeet S.
