Hi all,
I'm playing around with sw RAID under Linux. I have a system which has 4 IDE drives which I want to install onto. I want to mirror all the file systems on all 4 drives, such that if any one drive fails, the system should be able to boot from the next bootable device. However, I seem to be in a catch-22 position. In order to mirror across all the drives, don't I need to install to all the drives? And if so, how do I configure the RAID set *before* I install? Or, is there a way to install to the primary master, yet create a /etc/raidtab file which then gets read and invoked at boot time and will mirror whatever is on /dev/hdaX to /dev/hd[b,c,d]X ? Anyone ever do this before? Thanks, -- Seeya, Paul -- It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing, but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away. If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right! _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
