To answer my own question
/dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 should be set the other way around ie:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sda1
raid-disk 1
failed-disk 1
according to the HOWTO.
Any additional pointers, reassurance ;) etc appreciated.
Mike

Subject: Re: [SLUG] Using raid as root filesystem under Mandrake 8.2
G'day Jeff (and all)
I'm going to use raidtools, rather than mdadm (not because its the best,
but because there is more documentation to ease my learning curve).
Just wanting to check my /etc/raidtab before starting the array. (I'm
nervous, and really don't want to loose data or incur extra downtime.)
So here it is:
----
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 1
failed-disk 0

>From my understanding this will set up my two scsi disks, with the first
one marked as a failed disk (so I can keep its contents currently).
Thanks heaps.
