they discuss putting / on RAID - it is a somwehat
involved procedure. Easiest if it is done at install time.
RedHat actually offers that option at install, i
don't know about SuSe ( i have a suse box at
home but I don't run raid on it).
I think it is easiest to put / on a RAID5 partition if
your system is already installed (by marking the
existing / partition as failed in raid, copying everything
from / to the md partition and then readding the
old / disk back). You need to have a spare disk to
do it though. Read the HOWTO for details.

I can install Linux itself, because it contains the

have the data with the operating system and then
simply add a disk on which the whole thing is mirrored.
Where is my OS? I use a small boot partition and an
2 GB "/" partition, the "/" should be mirrored. Isn't
that possible.

Betreff: Re: /dev/hda1 mountedIf I understand correctly, you're attempting to simply add additional
drives to your existing non-RAID boot partition, instead of creating a RAID
setup on additional not yet formatted partitions, no?-HJC
