One last question ... how can use the swap partitions on both /dev/hda8 and /dev/hdc8? I did _not_ put the swap partitions in a RAID setup. Should I simply list both swap partitions in /etc/fstab? Thanks. Richard --- Richard Weil <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It took a little bit of experimenting,

Thanks, this is great. A couple of follow-up questions: 1. How do I get to single user mode without rebooting? (I know I should already know this.) 2. Do I need to do anything special to copy the partitions from /dev/hdaX to /dev/mdY? Once I'm in single user mode can I just "cp -R /dev/hdaX /dev/

Hi -- I need some help setting up RAID 1 on a fresh Woody install. The software is newer than the docs, particularly for Lilo, so any help from those with experience would be most appreicated. My hda and hdc drives are identical in size. hda is divided into multiple partitions -- / (/dev/hda2), /
