Hi, I have two identical 18GB scsi disks. I'd like to set them up as a software RAID-1 (Mirror). Ideally this will give me better read performance and allow some redundancy in case one of the disks dies.
During the RedHat 7.2 install, I created three primary partitions, /boot, /, and swap. /boot and / and configured as RAID1. The system boots fine in this configuration, and performance is good. If I remove the second disk, simulating a disk failure, the system still boots as I would expect. However, if I remove the first disk, simulating a disk failure, RH does NOT boot. I've already checked in fdisk that the boot parition on the second disk is flagged as bootable. All the documentation regarding booting of a mirrored raid seems to pertain to lilo. Does anyone know how to get mirrored boot RAID working with GRUB? I even copied the MBR from the first disk to the second.. Booting off the second disk still fails. All I get is "grub- loading stage two" in an endless loop. Any help would be appreciated, -Darrell _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
