I have two identical ide drives that I want to set up RAID 1 on. I already partitioned and installed hda and am getting ready to partition hdb the partitions on hda are as follows: hda1 swap hda2 / hda5 /usr hda6 /var hda7 /home I am not sure of the proper way to partition hdb. Do I create the same sized partitions as on hda and just name them some thing diferent then create the raid devises and point them where they need to go? Or do I have to partion hdb so that I have md0 md1 md2 md3 md4 md5 I am a bit confused any advise would help. TIA Steve
