Hello! I am attempting to build a fileserver running redhat-6.0 and raidtools 0.90 which has two 9gb scsi disks. I would like to make the system boot off the raid. So, my question is: Where can I go or what do I need to know to make root raid level 1 work? I have unsucessfully tried to make the initrd ramdisk work - I grabbed the rescue.clean package from ftp.bizsystems.com. I have made the kernel's boottime raid recognization find and mount the md0 device, but it doesn't actually work because the kernel gives a message about no root fs being available, so it unmounts the /dev/md0 device, and then the very next sequence of the boot is that it searches for init and dies because it cannot mount the /dev/md0 device which it had just brought offline. Aughh.. I have read the root-raid howto v1.07 mar '98, and I have read the software raid howto v 0.90.2 feb '99. Unfortunately, the root-raid howto seems to be very out of date - it refers to raidtools 0.42 and almost all the info does not seem to apply. For example, it gives no mention of the autoboot capability. The software raid howto is more helpful, but it covers setting up a raid, but not booting off of one. Any info would be appriceated! - John Frear [EMAIL PROTECTED]
