G'day, We're trying to set-up a host with software RAID (mirroring) and LVM at work (for a backup server).
Just trying to install Debian with RAID partitions is proving painful. Anyone done this before? Any recommendations, tips, suggested methods? I'm thinking I should install to one drive putting a plain boot partition and then a LVM on it, leaving the second alone. Once install is complete create the RAID with the second drive marked as failed. (I can remember doing this a while back, but I think RAID has changed on Linux now.) Sorry if I'm answering my own questions here. I've struggled with Debian's installer and seen my colleague spend longer on it, whilst being head down in programming. Consciousness seems to have clicked a bit more since relaxing. Look forward to seeing you all again on Friday week.
