Isn't mirroring a swap partition a bad idea, or at the least wasteful? Why not create a (or two) swap partitions on the disks, then create the RAID partitions on the remaining space? ~~~~ This is a fresh install. I don't really want to mirror the swap partition, just get the system mirrored. During the install, after many different attempts to get the system to boot from the hard disk, I have now set up /dev/md0 with 90GB and mounted as /var, however after the loading of packages is complete and the system reboots, the system won't boot from the hard drive. The mount point /boot is on /dev/sda1. Thank you, ~James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
