I hate to be so thick. I'm still trying to get raid-1 working. Someone has been good
enough to help me out, but I think I'm wearing out my welcome. Here's what I have so
far:
I'm close, but I still don't have the cigar. Here's what I have: I'm using RH 6.0. I
have two WD 4.3 gb HDD's. I'm trying to mirror (to start out) hda5 and hdc5. I have
raid tools 19990421-0. This is what I've done:mke2fs /dev/hda6. mkdir /mnt/spare.
mount /dev/hda6 /spare. tar clf - * | tar xpfC - /mnt/spare. edited /etc/fstab to
change /dev/hda5 /usr to /dev/hda6 /usr. reboot. I ran fdisk to change hda5 and c5
to type fd. mkraid --really-force /dev/md1. mke2fs /dev/md1. mount /dev/md1
/mnt/spare. cd /usr. tar clf - * | tar xpfC - /mnt/spare. edited /etc/fstab changed
/dev/hda6 /usr to /dev/md1 /usr. reboot. I get the following error: "Mount : wrong
fd type, bad option, bad supreblock or /dev/md1, or too many mounted fs (aren't you
trying to mount an extended partition in stead of some logical partition inside?) I
think I might be a little confused. I know the basics of raid and how it's supposed
to work. I know the basics of it and what it's supposed !

to do. Are both /hda5 and /hdc5 supposed to be mounted at /usr in the fstab? how do
I use /dev/md1? Do I replace /dev/hdc5 /usrb with /dev/md1 /some mount point? Am I
making sense? I'm not sure what to do with /dev/md1 or what my fstab should look
like.Do I want the same information on hda5 *and* hdc5? Or do I want the same
information on hda5 and md1?
