Actually, if you read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/md.txt it will tell you what
to do. Snip from my lilo.conf:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/hda5
read-only
append="md=0,0,0,0,/dev/hdb,/dev/hdc"
And from /etc/fstab:
/dev/md0 /mnt/raid ext2 defaults 1 2
This worked fine with 2.2.11 unpatched (with the raid stuff compiled right
in) and two blank drives. Never had to use any of the raid-tools, also
because they just don't work with 2.2.11. I understand that 2.2.12 should
have all the new patches in, and by then we might even have raid-tools that
work with it.
Be careful however, because I have no idea if a raid-1 array already created
and initialized with the raid-tools will be readable just fine using the
method I described above. Before trying anything, I would make a good
backup.
