2000-08-07 Thread Jane Dawson
Hi, I decided to set up a completely RAID-based system using two identical IDE hard disks, each with 3 partitions (boot, swap and data). The setup is hda1 and hdc1 = 800Mb boot hda2 and hdc2 = 128Mb swap hda3 and hdc3 = 3Gb data I'm using kernel 2.4.0-test5 with Ingo's 'dangerous' raidtools

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. allan Emmanuel Galanos
