Just to correct myself -- this equation actually doesn't work after thinking
about it. It works for P=2, but after that, the whole game changes...

Hi,
got raid working, got lilo all set up, now how should I set up swap in
/etc/fstab?
I have 2 scsi drives set up as a raid1- this has / and /boot and the rest of
the system.
I also have an IDE drive for storage and backup.
all 3 drives have a partition set up to be swap
Right now swap is o
We need clues as well... Let us see your /etc/lilo.conf file, tell us what
version of lilo you're using and what's mounted (/proc/mounts or /etc/mtab).
Thanks, Rich B

I'm right at the end of a similar process.
check the owner and permissions of /tmp (and other directories) on your raid
compare it to the original on the IDE drive. copying with graphical tools
like KDE will screw up the ownership and things like suid. I had problems
with that.

I am having troubles with lilo. When I run lilo (with or without options),
it gives errors:
open /tmp/dev.0: No such device
I have no clues.
Here is what i did:
I first installed OS (Redhat 6.2) on an IDE drive, create RAID1 on 2 extra
SCSI disks, and mounted. I copied the root files (/) onto
Is there a reason the single disk raid patch isn't standard? Is there a
preferred alternative? (For upgrading from a non-raid to a raid system.)

Hi,
Do you know why I can't use
"raidhotremove" but I can use
"raidhotadd"?
I can't use "raidhotremove"
even the filesystem is unmount
and the raid is stopped ("raidstop")...
The system doesn't want to do the
"raidhotremove" because it said that
the device is "busy". It's false

Arguably, any combination should be allowed, but 0+1 and 1+0 at minimum.

Hi there,
I am trying to set up RAID1 + RAID0 over four disks. I have
md1 = sda2 sdb2 (RAID 1)
md2 = sdc2 sdd2 (RAID 1)
md3 = md1 md2(RAID 0)
I can successfully mkraid these devices, but when I try to mke2fs I get
the message "Got md request, not good..."

Thanks for the feedback. I've added a few hints to the readme file at:

lilo will figure out the underlying partitions for you
2) Add default= to make mirrors fully functional...

Hi,
We try to use mylex 150 with 2X18Go (piii550/256RAM)
to make hard raid 1. I guest the hardware setup is badly
done, because linux does not want to boot:

low ("DOS") RAM. Linux needs 608Ko

No, unless you configured it this way. But be careful with swap on
