Converting a single partition to raid after the fact is fairly easy, sort of like what happens should one raid drive fail. Put both partitions in the raid (man mdadm ) but put the empty drive in as a spare. As soon as the raid fires up it will replicate the data from the live drive to the empty.
John, thanks for your info on RAID. I have the following partitions: /home /opt /usr /tmp /var /swap / To add them to a RAID, I do the following (I assume here): On the other disk I create the same sized partitions for /home /opt /usr /var Add them to the raid with mdadm, restart the raid and that's all? What's the problem to add "/" to the raid? I ask because what I would like to have is the following; if e.g. the main disk fails, I boot from the other one, which should be possible as all data has been mirrored. But that's only a valid statement in case "/" is on the raid as well... -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
