You need to create a partition that will be a part of the raid array on each disk. So the followiing is what I do:
Yes, I finally figured this out. So far the computer is working excellently. It's much faster than our email gateway (my first linux box). :)
Thanks for your help, Chris.
p.s. I still have plenty of time to reinstall and repartition if necessary. I'd appreciate it if you would comment on the way I've setup the partitions. Here is the output of df -ah:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/md1 4.0G 136M 3.7G 4% / none 0 0 0 - /proc usbdevfs 0 0 0 - /proc/bus/usb /dev/md0 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot none 0 0 0 - /dev/pts /dev/md4 21G 33M 20G 1% /home none 188M 0 188M 0% /dev/shm /dev/md2 7.9G 746M 6.8G 10% /usr
This doesn't look good for the type of use you are planning. This is a web server and logging
1) Is /usr going to grow that much? You've got less a 1G of used space now.
2) You have only 4G in / which also contains /var. /var is where Red Hat keeps logs, web pages, and the like.
3)You have 21G in /home. What is going to use that space?
My advice for what it's worth.
/boot ~100M / ~4G swap ~2 x ram /var everything else
Now once you've finished installing link /home, /opt, and /usr/local to /var. These are the only places that are likely to grow in size over time. / and /usr will grow if you upgrade, but you still have 3G of space to grow into.
mv /home /var/home mkdir /var/opt mkdir /var/usr mv /usr/local /var/usr cd / ln -sfi var/home home ln -sfi var/opt opt cd /usr ln -sfi ../var/usr/local local
