Greetings, I'm (somewhere) in the middle of upgrading from non-raid to RAID1. I'm using RH6.2 on a dual PIII-450s w/ 2 Barracuda 20GB Seagates (with minutely different geometries). Looking at Section 4 of "the Boot + Root + Raid + Lilo : Software Raid HOWTO" I've gotten up to 4.5 - "Test your new RAID" Where my procedure seems to choke is on the modification of the /etc/fstab file. Is the ordering of the mounts important in this file. Should the /dev/mdx's which are equivalent to the / and /boot filesystems, respectively, be the first ones to be mounted? Are there other issues for which to watch at this step? Thanks in advance!
