Hi all, Slowly starting backups for the new 7.1 install. So I'd like some advise : I always have two scsi disks for a SuSE. I'm not so good in linux so one is for testing out things, the other one kept as a stable one. ( say test for 2.4.0 and stable for 2.2.18 ). On the other hand, I'd like to keep disks with full capabilities ( still having the /boot on each disk in case one crashes ); My double question could +/- be resumed in : should I have one boot partition for the two disks or make symlinks to keep the 2 /boot partitions. There is enough space disk on both ( 18 GB ). Now I do the same with 2 /boot partitions. The only thing I do not quite understand is how lilo is acting in this case. So I have : sdb1 /boot ext2 sdd1 /boot ext2 sdb2 / rfs sdd2 / rfs sdb3 /usr rfs sdd3 /usr rfs etc....... sdd is my test disk. When I do tests now on sdd , kernel compiling, mk_initrd I have to copy bzImage, etc.... in /boot of sdB, reboot in sdb, make lilo.conf arragements in sdb and run lilo in sdb; then reboot on sdd to see if my changes works. In this situation what would be the best way to partition the two disks ? Or would it be better to make a symlinks from lilo.conf and lilo ( all on sdd ) to the same situated on sdb ? TIA Filip.
