Hi, Does anyone from redhat ever hang out on these lists?
I REALLY, need to figure out how the hell they do bootable software RAID as modules.... Is this some form of mystic secret that redhat don't want us to know? Or doesn't anyone from Redhat read these lists? I am trying to convert a system to bootable software raid from a single disk system. I really really really do not want to have to spend three days configuring this server after a reload. However.. all documents that I read about bootable software raid assume you are building your own kernel... and I know that redhat loads the raid modules .. most likely via initrd I guess, but try as I might, I can't get this into a bootable system. If I build my own kernel, then I will continue to have problems every time I run up2date and I'll have to constantly build new kernels and while I don't mind building a kernel, I used to do it all the time, I am trying to make things easier to maintain around here.. not harder. Can anyone point me in the right direction to any documents about how to do this? And secondly.... is there any further info on bootable sofware raid and what I do if one of the disk fails? I pulled one of the disks the other day while the system was powered down, and it wouldn't boot at all while it was out... that certainly is _not_ the way my hardware RAID systems work. I am using the GRUB boot loader and I assumed that each disk was bootable, but no go here, I had to put the disk back in before it would boot up again.. if they are going to offer us software raid, then I think they should follow thru and tell us how to use it.
