Hi!
I have to set up a new proxy for our school. Since I found two
identical IDE disks, I gave a software raid1 with gmirror a try.
I set the two disk as primary and secondary master, ie. ad0 and
ad2, and followed Ralf Engelschall's excellent HowTo at
http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/
(Approach 1: Whole disk)
As far as I can see, booting from gm0 works fine. There are only
two questions left:
1) I installed FreeBSD 5.4 -RELEASE and thus I put - as
recommended (or was that only for 5.3 ???) - swapoff="YES into
my /etc/rc.conf .
Now my raid1 device doesn't show any swap partition. Is this
o.k., or should it be reactivated somehow?
2) In case one of my disks fails (let's say ad2), what is the
correct procedure to exchange it? My guess:
- power down my machine
- insert new disk
- # gmirror configure -a gm0
- # gmirror insert gm0 /dev/ad2
- wait until
# gmirror list
shows both disks active again
That's it?
Thanks for your answers,
Uli.
