For years I've been setting up (open)suse machines with three (or more) partitions - each one using software RAID1, all partitions created and RAID set up during the installation. Has worked (at least up to 10.3) like a dream...
/dev/md0 as /boot, /dev/md1 as /, and /dev/md2 as swap is(was) my current standard.
Is it true that you simply can't do this (at least the /boot bit) with opensuse 11.x?
NO that is the way I run 11.0 and it runs fine.
Are you sure ? Are you using Grub ? Have you tried to unplug the first HD to see if it boots ?
In my case, in all installs I did, the YaST system did not install itself on the second HD.
I haven't unplugged a drive to check, but I would expect raid errors if the drives weren't mirrored: 12:43 ecstasy:~> sudo dmraid -r /dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_fdaacfde", mirror, ok, 976773166 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_fdaacfde", mirror, ok, 976773166 sectors, data@ 0 No errors to date. A pull test will be a good experiment though. If it fails, I'll report back, but if I was a betting man, I'd bet it boots fine on either sda or sdb -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
