->I'm sorry if my questions are rookie questions but I'd be glad for help ->anyway: Don't sweat it... it's called learning. ->I want to setup a server with SuSE Prof. 9.0 and a Software-Raid-1 system. ->First of all: Is there a possibility to create Software-Raid disks ->during the installation? (As far as I know, there is not - at least I ->never discovered one. But that's no real problem, I can work around it ->using a degraded raid.) Yes, the disk partitioning during the install (you need to "create custom") will allow you to setup RAID and LVM partitions. ->Second: Can Grub handle booting from a Raid disk? The author of the ->software-Raid-HOWTO said, that grub has some problems booting from ->Raid-1 disks and that he don't know how to solve them. (On the other ->hand, there have been some changes since the last update of the HOWTO.) ->Are there any special tricks needed? No, GRUB won't deal with the RAID volume... the install will put lilo on the system for you. ->Third (just in case we should jump to a Hardware-Raid solution): Are ->there any problems to install SuSE Prof. 9.0 on a Hardware-Raid-1 disk? If you have a Promise, 3Ware or other supported RAID hardware, those can be setup/used during the install as well. - Herman
