Installing Debain on a RAIDed partition
Folks, I would like to install my / partition on a mirrored (RAID 1) partition. I know how to do RAID _after_ an install, for user data, but at install time? Any pointers? Thanks

Just use --force-depends. It overrides package dependancies. At 12:59 PM 5/7/00 -0600, elyograg wrote: How hard is it to create fake packages?

RE: Installing Debian on a RAIDed partition
Ghane, I suggest using a Hardware RAID. I use ARCOIDE raid 1 controller (www.arcoide.com) on a couple of my machines. It's really easy to use and it's fast. In fact when I started using this product my hard drive usage actually visibly lowered (don't ask me why.) They are supposed to be a couple ATA-66 controllers on the market that are actually FASTER than UW SCSI drives, but I have yet to find one. At all cost avoid promise controllers. I was using one of these in a NT machine and it corrupted data without warning for 2 weeks. During those two weeks my backups also contained corrupted data (monthly, weekly, and daily.) When the system finally crashed from data corruption I was left without a backup. Luckily I was able to restore most of the data using my keen skills :) I'm also using RAID controllers from cru (www.cruinc.com), and Adaptec. I like the Arco controllers the best. -Original Message- From: Sanjeev Ghane Gupta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2000 8:11 PM To: debian-isp@lists.debian.org Subject: Installing Debain on a RAIDed partition Folks, I would like to install my / partition on a mirrored (RAID 1) partition.

RE: Installing Debian on a RAIDed partition
Ghane, I agree with Robert. I would use hardware. However, if all you are doing is mirroring then you should be able to load Linux, then duplicate your drive to the second drive through the RAID software. Sadly, it is a toy that I haven't had time to play with. Gregory Wood *** REPLY SEPARATOR *** On 5/8/00 at 10:17 AM Robert H. Clugston wrote: Ghane, I suggest using a Hardware RAID.
