I saw this covered before on the list, but then I cleaned out my SuSE folder.
I'm looking to go from a single IDE drive I'm currently using with SuSE 9.1, and going to a software RAID-0 with 2 SCSI drives, while keeping my current OS install.
Anyone know of a good way to do this? I've not done software RAID on Linux before, but I'm certainly no newbie to RAID itself (DiskSuite, RAIDFrame, 3Wares, etc.)
Thanks, Chris

As far as I remember, it was not recommended to place your /boot and /bin and /usr/bin on a software RAID, as if the RAID fails, you will not have access to the tools and the boot images. So, before you move on, create some small partition(s) to hold them. After that just copying everything should be OK. Never done this with RAID, but I needed to replace a drive, and it just worked.
