If anyone is looking at the red hat 6.2 beta, I'd like to hear whether you
could actually upgrade a raided system (w/o breaking & reconstructing,
obviously). The announcement seemed to indicate this was supported now.
I've set up a couple of red hat 6.1 servers. All partitions are mirrored
except /boot. I re-compiled the kernel to include the SCSI driver & RAID1
personality. I have not been able to create a working rescue procedure.
Following red hat's new procedure - boot from the install diskette, type
linux
I haven't done the upgrade myself but I have seen 2 things regarding this:
1. RH has already released 2 new images (boot & updates) that are supposed
to fix some bugs w/ the original install
2. The RAID stuff is only supported in the GUI install, not text.
good luck

I've used A James Lewis' procedure (thank you) to mirror root on a couple of
systems w/ rh 6.0 (kernel 2.2.10). I tried my 1st 6.1 (kernel 2.2.12)
machine & it didn't work, yet.
After creating the mdx root partition & copying the files, I ran lilo &
rebooted. OK. At this point, instead of success
running rh6.1 w/ scsi
I'm getting there. slowly. I've got a couple of partitions mirrored.
However, when I boot from the rescue diskette, I cannot mount either of the
raid partitions. mount does not report an error, but it doesn't work either.
Before I mirror root, I'd like to know how to do this
I'm installing & testing RAID1 on a rh6.1 server. 2 18 GB drives on an
aic7880.
I've mirrored only 2 partitions so far (/usr & /var). I originally created a
rescue boot diskette (before I started messing w/ RAID stuff) & it worked. I
have also re-compiled the kernel to include RAID1 personality,
to quote from the press release, 6.1 has "seamless integration of software
RAID configurations to safeguard critical data and application
availability". RAID-wise, is anything different from 6.0 except the version
of the patches/tools included?
not to quibble, but the latest version is 0.90-5 (on i386 anyway).

I have fiddled around w/ raid1 on an IDE system w/ only 1 /boot partition. I
plan to install my 1st production server w/ a couple of SCSI drives shortly.
I've been reading on the list a couple of possibities for booting off the
2nd drive should the 1st fail completely.
One option is to raid /boot
I have built a couple of iterations of 2.2.x RAID 1 & I've always gotten
rpms from rpmfind.net. The Rawhide 1.0 rpms seem to be built & maintained by
Red Hat. The kernel has always had the RAID patches applied. However, I
believe you will have to compile it to include your RAID personality for

I've got raid1 running on all partitions but /boot with 2.2.10 and
raidtools-19990724. Now I'm thinking about recovery. I experimented with one
partition. Here it is in raidtab:
# /home
raiddev /dev/md7
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size
I've got rh6.0. I'm trying to implement RAID1.
I compiled the 2.2.10-4 kernel with the raid1 option. I installed the 0.90-4
rpm of raidtools. I'm trying to use the failed-disk option but it doesn't
appear to be recognized. I've been lurking on the list for a while so I know
there is a patch for t
