< SNIP > Have you read the Software-Raid Howto?
Several times ......without much success :(
There is linear Raid, Raid 0, and Raid 5 , amoung others, it depends on what you want to do. In any event, running the system off to tape and restoring is your safest bet. Some is linear, some parallel.
I think what I am 'looking' for is RAID 1 ...could you please explain what is to be linear and what is to be parallel ?
You could back up everything to tape and repartition your system, for software raid, and copy your tape back into the new /dev/md0.
Please elaborate on this ...what's /dev/md0 ? Thanks Anurag
