Ok,
I have reinstalled the system and creating the /boot partition outside
of the array like you suggested does allow me to create the /
partition inside of the RAID array. So I now have my drive formatted
and setup like I want it with /boot being the only partition that is
outside. Now I need to figure out what to do to lilo as the article
that was linked here refers to having boot inside the array not
outside.
can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
glenn

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).
