Hi all Ubuntu supports LVM RAID with the installer. I would like to setup a RAID 1 with 2 (S)ATA disks, so that if one disk fails, the system is still fully operational. However I don't have experience with LVM RAID, so here are a few questions:
- How does it work with grub? Can i have /boot also on RAID, or do I have to create a seperate parition for it? - If I setup the software RAID, how can I test if it will work if a disk fails. Just pull the plug on the drive will not work I think (or depends if the controller supports hot swapping?) - How do I get noticed when one of the drives fails? - If a disk fails I normally get some very strange kernel errors and the box freezes. Is it possible that the box also freezees if I use RAID? thx in advance Nils -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
