I would like to know if hamm provices in its installation the tools to setup a RAID0 (stripping) installation.

Sorry for the late reply, I am catching up with the mailing list. Yes, hamm has tools for RAID0. You'll want the mdutils package, which contains all tools you need. I don't know about the standard kernel, you might have to compile your own with support for MD and RAID0 turned on. I don't think there is a menu that configures the whole thing for you, but it is not difficult to do it by hand. Basically, you do this: 1. get a kernel that supports RAID0 (and boot it). 2. instal the mdutils package. 3. choose the partitions (or whole disks) that will form the RAID0 device. for example, say these are /dev/hda1 and /dev/hdc3 4. run these commands: # mdcreate raid0 /dev/md0 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc3 # mdadd -ar # mke2fs /dev/md0 5. mount the RAID0 partition where you want it. Note, that it will be difficult to get the root filesystem on the RAID0 device since the RAID0 device is only active after the mdadd program is run (Debian does this automatically at boot time if you have configured any MD devices). This is approximately how my setup used to be when I had a RAID0 device: DOS partition: /dev/hda1 extended partition: /dev/hda2 root file system: /dev/hda5 RAID0 system: /dev/hda6 and /dev/hdc2 swap: /dev/hda7 and /dev/hdc1 RAID0 device mounted on /mddrive /mddrive contains home, usr and var root filesystem contains symlinks for /home, /usr and /var For more (detailed) information, look at these documents on a Debian system: /usr/doc/HOWTO/Root-RAID-HOWTO.gz /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Software-RAID.gz and the man pages for mdadd, mdcreate, etc. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
