Greetings and apologies from the get-go for bothering you! I'm working my way through implementing RAID-1 on my RH6.2 system and saw that your email gets referenced on the mkraid -f command. I'm following the latest Software-RAID HOWTO along with the instructions available from RedHat and have some questions (as well as some problems implementing this). Background: 2 P3-450MhZ w/ 512RAM, w/ 2 20GB IDE UDMA66 drives using latest version of RH6.2 w/ 2.2.14-5smp kernel First of many confusions: In establishing a RAID-1 system I'm not sure how to partition both drives. The partitions which I've put to use on /dev/hda are below in "Detail 1" all of type ext2, along with one 127MB partition for Linux swap. Do I set these up also on /dev/hdb with the same size and tag them "fd" or is there some other procedure that's necessary here? If this is clarified then the procedures are pretty straightforward ... mkraid -f /dev/md0 mkfs /dev/md0 mkdir /storage mount /dev/md0 /storage ... are fairly clear until we get to making this system bootable and I'll stick to getting my initial confusion(s) clarified and then deal with this.
