RE: [expert] software raid level 1
*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* I'm running a raid0 and a raid5 under Mdk 5.3. But i hope this is the same thing under Mdk6. And yes the documentation is not up to date... I'll give you what i did under Mdk 5.3. -install the raidtools package included with mdk 6 -load raidx modules (if compiled in modules with 2.2 kernel) -create the file /etc/raidtab (you can find a sample in /usr/doc/raid-tools) -modify this file with your configuration -to configure the raid use the commands raidadd and raidrun instead of mdadd and mdrun -mkraid /dev/mdx -mke2fs /dev/mdx If you need more details just ask!

RE: [expert] Serial link
I have a linux box with many daemons running with raid system(squid, telnet, ftp, samba, nis, dhcp). I want to do an exact replication and update of this box to another one. Under Netware you can use SFT-III so am looking to realize the same thing with Linux. After some tests i found that nfs take a lot of cpu during the file transfert under a plip link so i will now try with rsync with an ethernet link.

Re: [expert] Serial link
I wasn't thinking to create such discussion on serial link But my goal is to have a replication between two linux servers. With this replication i'm gona be able to respond very quickly in case of system crash or failure of the primary server. I was thinking of serial link between the servers but someone suggested the parallel link. I don't really have a problem of length cable because i'm only connecting two servers with about 2 feet between them. Today computers have a parallel or serial connectors so i can keep the cost down. So right now i'm doing some tests with a parallel link and i use nfs to do the replication of the most important directores and files. I'm open on better ideas or suggestions...
