Re: Has Any body done Software RAID 1 ??

[David Busby]

Raid1 is for partitions not whole disks.  If you want to mirror whole disks then each must have only one partition (the one you want to mirror)   /B ----- Original Message ----- From: manjunath To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2003 03:16 Subject: Has Any body done Software RAID 1 ?? Hi,   Since two days i am struggling with raidtools, mkraid  /dev/mdo etc etc .. But could only mirror first two partitions.. I want to mirror the entire HDD, and if anyone has done this, please let me know..   When i specify hda5 & hdb5 in raidtab, it says that the hda5 is mounted and hence can not do mirroring... But if i keep it as hda & hdb, mirror works, but only two paritions are mirrored out of 4 partitions ..     Help !!! please ..   Thanx 'n Regards   Manjunth Hegde
