debian 2.2 on an e250, kernel 2.2.17 with the raid-2.2.17-A0 patch applied, using raidtools-dangerous-0.90-20000116, silo 0.9.8-1.
if this is a rtfm or faq somewhere, please point me in the right direction... haven't had any luck finding the info myself. i'm trying to mirror two 9gb drives, sda and sdb. got the other filesystems mirrored and mounted, but i'm failing miserably trying to boot and mount root off the array. is that even workable? following the software raid howto, i've created a /dev/md1 device which contains /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sda1. sda1 (the original root partition) is in as a failed disk. mounted /dev/md1 on /mnt, then tried `silo -r /mnt` and received: Fatal error: Couldn't find out what device is second stage on and, after some feeble messing with options and searching the web, that is where matters stand. as another question, is it still true that it is not possible to mirror swap partitions? if so, then the mirroring doesn't give me what i want, anyway, but i'm still curious to know the answer... thanks! andy -- andy bezella "i'm easily distracted by shiny objects."
