Greetings,
If this is documented somewhere feel free to tell me where it is:
I just setup a software RAID 1 using 2 IDE disks and no spares. I'm
using the kernel that comes with the RH beta (md 0.90.0, raidtools 0.90).
Anyway to test it, I halted the machine then
you could write a simple shell or perl script to do this using the
/proc/mdstat as a reference, but it is a bad idea to put in a drive and have
the kernel _assume_ you want to put things back the way they were. i prefer
the control, rather than have the kernel assume.

Dear Raiders,
I'm running Suse 6.3 with a 2.2.13 kernel.
I'd want to use my scsi disks in a raid 5 with hot spares configuration.
For this I follow the Howto from Jakob Østergaard v. 0.90.7 19th of January
2000 (http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/).
I'm a bit lost about how to
try:
cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 raid-2.2.16-A0.txt patchoutput.txt
Does this help?

Hi,
Sorry for the stupid newby question but here goes.
I have downloaded the kernel 2.2.13 and it has raid stuff in it and it is working fine.
In ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha/ there are kernel patches. How do
these patches differ from the raid code that is already in the
Over the weekend, I got RAID1 running on my RedHat 2.2.11 box. Following the
advice on this list, I fetched raidtools-19990824-0.90.tar, and the
raid0145-19990824-2.2.11 kernel patch. I applied the patch to a pristine
kernel tree, compiled, rebooted, and it started working.
I followed the
Is there an FAQ for doing software mirror using the 2.2 series kernel?

Yes, RAID1 is a mirror, so a chink size cannot increase write speed, but when
reading this can be done "in

Since it's not really referred to in the RAID-1 section (a
