Hi, Thanx for the suggestion. I've already gone through all those stuff. And finally configured RAID on my server. The UbuntuLinux version 5.10 (I'm using) is a slight buggy esp. the partitioning utilities like parted (debian menu based). So I'm unable to create partitions as I expected.
I want to create: /dev/sda1 -- raid volume /dev/sdb1 -- raid volume /dev/md0 -- raid array [ /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 ] /dev/md0p0 - / partition /dev/md0p1 - /home partition /dev/md0p2 - swap partition But due to bug in the utility (I've checked dmesg, and it says the program is sending deprecated IOCTL to kernel in order to inform kernel to reprobe partitions). So I've to do: /dev/sda1 -- raid volume /dev/sdb1 -- raid volume /dev/md0 -- raid array [ /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 ] Over MD0 array I've to create an LVM Volume Group and that volume group contains my rest of the partitions as LVM Volumes. And then too, LILO is not installed. But now, everything is OK. Anyways, some queries related to RAID on Linux: How to add more "/dev/md???" devices to the "/dev" tree ? I mean what major and minor numbers have to be passed to mknod or do I've to pass any parameter to md module. Well thanx for replying Ashish Shukla alias Wah Java !!
