Can anyone tell me how to get the "/" partition to work in a RAID 1 configuration for software raid?
i have the drives setup using RAID 1 on SUSE 9.1 but couldn't get root in. Now when I remove either of the disks the entire server goes down due to bad fsck information on bootup. I try to run manually and nothing.
The only way I can get the system to boot properly is to boot with both disks in the drive.
having to partition 2 root partitions means that I have to create a different name on the second drive as I can't have two root drives and therefore switching the disks just doesn't work...
Just make a separate /boot (maybe on on each drive - use one as a manual backup for the main one). Then, raid can be set up on the / partition (because everything needed to boot it is on the /boot partition). -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
