Hello,
Having lost a very important disk in the last 7 days, I decided that it
would be appropriate to configure the new web servers and db server for
linux.org with dual disks in a RAID-1 setup. Can I get some feedback on the
following, including any hurdles in configuration, etc.
/dev/sda1 16368 /boot
/dev/sda2 8809472 /
/dev/sda3 65536 <swap>
/dev/sdb1 16368 /boot
/dev/sdb2 8809472 /
/dev/sdb3 65536 <swap>
Combine /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 into /dev/md0 and combine /dev/sda2 with
/dev/sdb2 into /dev/md1. LILO would have root=/dev/md1 for both kernel images
on the /boot partition.
Will the new "AUTORAID" configurations handle this situation for a booting
kernel? I LOATHE the idea of using initrd.
I could resort to diskcopy but that's such a sleezy way of doing things.
Thanks for your assistance,
