Quick question,
Setup a new machine last night with two raptor 150 disks. Setup RAID1 as
I do everywhere else, 0.90.03 superblocks (in order to be compatible with
LILO, if you use 1.x superblocks with LILO you can't boot), and then:
/dev/sda1+sdb1 - /dev/md0 - swap
/dev/sda2+sdb2 - /dev/md1
I am putting a new machine together and I have dual raptor raid 1 for the
root, which works just fine under all stress tests.
Then I have the WD 750 GiB drive (not RE2, desktop ones for ~150-160 on
sale now adays):
I ran the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd

Says who? (Don't use LILO ;-)
, and then:
/dev/sda1+sdb1 - /dev/md0 - swap
/dev/sda2+sdb2 - /dev/md1 - /boot (ext3)

Why would you care about what's on

Why would you care about what's on the disk? fdisk, mkfs and
the day-to-day

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc
The purpose is with any new disk its good to write to all the blocks and
let the drive to all of the re-mapping before you put 'real' data on it.
Let it crap out or fail before I put

Hello!
I've been experimenting with software RAID a bit lately, using two
external 500GB drives. One is connected via USB, one via Firewire. It is
set up as a RAID5 with LVM on top so that I can easily add more drives
when I run out of space.
