There is a good article about software raid here http://en.opensuse.org/How_to_install_openSUSE_on_software_RAID
Note that my system would not boot unless I made the /boot partition NOT on raid. All other partitions can be on raid1. Putting swap on raid1 was a debated issue on this list, but in the end I put my swap on raid1 and all works fine.
Thanks, Jim, I'll take a look a that. I'm also trying to migrate data that is scattered over a collection of internal and external (USB) drives onto the new RAID, whereas that article assumes starting from scratch. There are only so many data connectors/power lines available inside one machine :) -- Bob Registered Linux User #463880 GPG-FP: A6C1 457C 6DBA B13E 5524 F703 D12A FB79 926B 994E openSUSE 10.3, Kernel 2.6.22.17-0.1-default, KDE 3.5.7 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
