Hi all,

Since June, when i first installed Linux on my
production server, i've managed to do pretty much
what I wanted, save for SOFTWARE RAID.

The Server's a Compaq Deskpro with 2 x 9Gb SCSI HDs
/dev/sda1 has the following partitions

Swap - 128 Mb
/boot - 50 Mb  ex2fs
/home - 2.5 Gb ex2fs
/     - 6.5 Gb ex2fs

I have about 4Gb of data and System files on sda1
which i backup with taper to an HP DDS-2 cartridge.

Is it possible to implement software RAID at this stage ?
If yes ..how can i get started ... If the answer is NO..
then how best do i utilise sda2 ?

Thanks in advance
