I have a similar setup to the one you describe, however for the RAID partitions ID I'm using fd , you set this using fdisk, it's intended for RAID partitions and the HOWTO suggests using it , in addition to persistent superblock so the partition gets noticed at boot time. I haven't had any probl

What does "buying Solaris/HP/NT" have anything to do with job security? If you can't do the job , doesn't matter what you buy, you'll still be a bad SysAdmin. Buying a Ferrari won't make you Formula 1 driving material, not saying Solaris/HP/NT are Ferrari's but you see the point I'm trying to ma

I take it you're talking about booting from a raid device right from LILO? I prefer having a simple boot partition on each drive of the RAID 1. Sure it's more work to maintain two copies of /boot but I don't update the kernel that often. This method is so simple and it's so reliable. Anyone se

booting from second drive.

1999-11-15 Thread Luis Costabile
Hello, I installed root as a mirrored volume. I have two SCSI disks only in the system. According to the HOWTO it's suggested to have /boot reside on a separate partition on each disk. I installed the kernels and other stuff normally on /boot to these partitions then one at a time ran lilo ag
