so set them all to "fd" (raid auto detect) type "mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -n3 -l5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1" then type "type "mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -n3 -l5 /dev/md1 /dev/md2 /dev/md3
that should sync my hard drives and start the process?
would the "/boot" partition be the same as the "whole disk" partition?
I am still very new to debian and Linux in general and I am hoping to learn a great deal.
Do the following
Remove your ugly raidtab
Create a small partition at the beginning of each disk.(/boot). Let's say 30~40MB (sda1, sdb1, sdc1)
Create a big partition (/) it will be your root file system (on each disk) (sda2, sdb2, sdc2)
and then a swap partition(on each disk) (sda3, sdb3, sdc3)
set the partitions the fd type (auto detect)
type: mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -n3 -l5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 mdadm -Cv /dev/md1 -n3 -l5 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 mdadm -Cv /dev/md2 -n3 -l5 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc3
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 mkfs.reiserfs /dev/md1 mkswap /dev/md2
mkdir /newdisk mount /dev/md1 /newdisk mkdir /newdisk/boot mount /dev/md0 /newdisk/boot
cp -avux / /newdisk (dont forget the space between / and /newdisk) cp -avux /boot /newdisk/boot (same space)
edit your /newdisk/etc/fstab (replace sdX with mdX)
edit your /newdisk/etc/lilo.conf (boot=/dev/md0 root=/dev/md1 raid-extra-boot=mbr)
lilo -r /newdisk
pull the old disks and you should be done
