[newbie] Software raid install
Title: Software raid install I have just got a new 40 gig drive and would like to use it with my current 20 gig drive in a software raid0 configuration. Does the installer support setting up software raids during the install, or do I have to set up the raid after installing mandrake to space on the end of the 40 gig drive. Thanks for any help. Daniel

There is a good raid HOWTO on the Internet. one comment I have, is that normally raid drives should be of same or similar size. -- Gerald Waugh Registered Linux User 255245 register at http://counter.li.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

This mail from the archive offers good advice on setting up software RAID in Mandrake http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/msg79668.html derek On Tuesday 15 January 2002 21:01, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: first of all I apologise to people who have received this document several times in HTML format, I was sending from work and could not get outgoing external mail to be sent in plain text.

Daniel p.s I apologise for sending the original message in Html Daniel, Thanks for trying, but this is still in HTML. It is, however, quite readable. Which email client do you use -- maybe I or somebody else can help you figure out how to turn off HTML. It can be confusing (and a PITA). But, we should try to help you with your main problem. Unfortunately, I can't remember, even though I've recently been doing some installs of Mandrake 8.1. It probably is supported. I've also had occasion to attempt a RedHat 7.2 installation recently. Setting up a raid system there is supported and very straightforward during the install. (I'm afraid to say anything about it, because anything I'm liable to say will probably be more confusing than if you simply attempt it. IIRC, it's a two step process, you do something like setup several partitions as raid partitions and then combine them, or perhaps I have it backward, maybe you say you plan to have a raid system, then designate which partitions will be part of the raid system.) Hopefully someone else can answer your question with respect to Mandrake. Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

[newbie] Software RAID setup question
Please have patients with me as I have never used RAID before. I have an existing partitioned drive with corp server 1.0 installed on it and I want to set up RAID mirroring on another drive that is exactly the same make and model as the source drive. Do I have to partition both drives the same or does theRAID do that? Can I set up RAID without repartioning the source drive? or will it hurt any data on the existing source drive? TIA Steve
