True. If fact, you don't need floppies (except maybe a boot floppy)
if you don't mind losing a partition. I.e., have a regular partition
for the initial install, form the raid from the other partitions, copy
the files over (cp -a /usr /home ..) to the raid, update the raid's

Try adding a "default" line to your lilo.conf and see if that fixes the
problem.
There is a bug with the lilo that ships with RH6.2 and this seems to
workaround it.

LILO is stock RH 6.2 build (which includes lilo.raid and other patches
according to the .spec)
lilo.conf:
boot= /dev/md0
image = /boot/blah
label = something
root= /dev/md0
read-only
boot and root are both on /dev/md0 which is sda1 and sdb1.

After installation you can:
: #1 - Add new hard drive (two for RAID5)
: #2 - Create failed disk RAID1 or RAID5
: #3 - Create file system on RAID1 or RAID5
: #4 - Boot from rescue disk (must have RAID kernel on it)
: #5 - Copy old non-RAID to new RAID using afio or cpio
: #6 - Reboot to new RAID (c
You can create an emergency boot disk (minus modules) very easily with:
cat /vmlinuz >/dev/fd0
That will be identical to booting off your hard drive. I used to use that
until lilo started recognizing RAID and I still keep one around in case the
boot gets hosed.

Hi this is me again I have a last question :
So I'm gonna install monday a linux RH 6.2.
The computer will have 2 UW2 SCSI HDD (let's say HDD1 and HDD2, both
9Gb) and I want to do software RAID 1.
Do I have something specific to do when installing my RH ? Should I say
somewhere that I want a
My problem is that /dev/hdc of my PC is broken (the 1st IDE disk of the 2nd
channel) and I had to replace it with /dev/hde (it is an ATA/66 disk with a
Promise controller, that can't become /dev/hdc).
Please, if you can, reply also to my address, because I'm not subscribed to the
list.
The inte
The 1GB won't be "lost". You can still mirror the 9GB onto the 10GB, then
you can use the leftover 1GB for another non-RAID partition.

Well - you can upgrade to a RAID1 or RAID5 (sort of).
After installation you can:
#1 - Add new hard drive (two for RAID5)
#2 - Create failed disk RAID1 or RAID5
#3 - Create file system on RAID1 or RAID5
#4 - Boot from rescue disk (must have RAID kernel on it)
#5 - Copy old non-RAID to new RAID us
If you're only installing RAID "later", you must realize that you will not
be able to apply RAID to the existing data on your drives; you will only be
able to 'raidify' empty partitions, unless you reinstall RedHat and use
their new HA Disk Druid capabilities.

Hi !
I'm installing a RH 6.2 linux system. Right now I have only one hdd and I
will add software Raid later. Is it possible ? Can I install the system
now and add the second HDD and the software Raid later ?
Must I take special cares now for installing the system ?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have in a server a 9 Gb UW SCSI disk. I would like to install RAID on
it. Software RAID. Do you know what new disk should I buy ?
Must it be exactly the same ? Or can I buy like a 10 Gb UW SCSI dans 1 Gb
will be lost ?
Thank you !
