After installation you can:

: #2 - Create failed disk RAID1 or RAID5
: #3 - Create file system on RAID1 or RAID5

If you put / and /boot on raid then probably your swap
is also on raid. Does having swap on raid have any

Hi there:
After my raid-1 is up and running I shutdown the
machine and took out one hard disk.(the one without
Linux installed.) Just to see how it behaves.
During reboot it drops to single user mode due to RAID
device error.

Make sure /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5 are not mounted when

Hi collist guy:
I put some data files in /dev/hda8 and leave /dev/hdc8
empty. After issuing mkraid it doesn't seem to sync
hdc8 to hda8, which is specified as failed-disk.
After mkraid, I am expecting /dev/hdc8 to have the
same data as /dev/hda8. Am I missing any assumption?
Thanks.
, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for
potential clues.
[root@hostb120 /]#
I don't want to loose the data in /dev/hda7, so
mkraid --really-force /dev/md0 is not a right thing to
do.
What should I do with this problem?
Thanks.

both RAID-5 and RAID-0. We are using raidtools-0.90-5 which came with
