Hi,

I am just playing around with a software RAID under RedHat 9

I have been able to mirror drives by creating the same partitions on each
drive, then creating a raidtab as following:


raiddev /dev/md0
    raid-level                1
    nr-raid-disks             2
    nr-spare-disks            0
    persistent-superblock     1
    chunk-size                4

    device                    /dev/hda
    raid-disk                 0
    device                    /dev/hdb
    raid-disk                 1


Using /dev/hda and /dev/hdb then running mkraid /dev/md0, away it goes and
Sync's up.

Removing one drive at a time, the computer will boot up fine on either
drives.

Using cat /proc/mdstat i can see when the RAID is Sync'ed, It all looks
fine, reboot the computer and it seems not to be mounting partitions. It
says its trying to mount /boot but its already mounted.

Can i create the raid using /dev/hda and /dev/hdb and not have to create a
raid device for each partition.


Anyone been doing this? Any suggestions?
