I am a RAID newb.
I have a brand-new Dell Precision T1500 workstation with two 700GB SATA
drives, pre-loaded with Windows 7.
Of course, Win7 has already been wiped off.
My goal is to have a redundant Debian (Stable) system, such that the
second drive is a mirror of the first drive. I would think RAID1 would
be the route to go.
However, being a RAID newbie, I'm running into all sorts of problems,
not least of which that I simply don't understand some of the basic
concepts.
Boasting that you "of course wiped W7 off" to then run in to problems
with RAID and then come here, is amusing. Maybe you should do some
research on RAID and how to do it in Debian, there are many helpful
guides on settings up systems, however these are only guides and you
also need to know how to recover from disk failures, raid controller
failures and other such fun things. W7 has some very easy to use
software raid tools which would have at least given you a helping
start, I'm not saying they are the best, but they certainly are easy
to get your head around.
Checkout some guides, check the archives and look up basic
terminology, my fear is you will get a RAID1 set up for your data, to
then spend countless hours trying to get your data back when something
goes wrong, because you don't know how to do it, something which can
be all too commmon
So..., you're saying that if I want to learn to use RAID, I should use
Windows?
I've been doing research on RAID for the past week, and none of the
documentation I've found addresses my issues.
