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-level1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks
Greetings list,
I'm writing a small software-RAID monitor - it just
parses through /proc/mdstat looking for bad raiddisks. I don't use
RAID-0 on my systems and so have no entry in /proc/mdstat. Anybody
using software RAID-0 care to mail me (offlist) their /proc/mdstat
so
Hi
I want to move my /home dir into a software raid 1.
Currently 65 gig /dev/hda
partitioned:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 54G 19G 33G 38% /
/dev/hda1
46M 15M 29M 33% /boot
This is my plan

Hello,
I am having some trouble getting GRUB configured to boot from a software RAID
device. The documentation seems to indicate that software RAID devices are
supported and I've found posts indicating that people have it working, so at
