Hello Linux folkz, Does somebody know if it's possible to setup Raid array on Linux box with ReiserFS? I couldn't find any certain information about this. Some sources say that it's duable and some that it's not. Thanks for any information. Alex
Alex, Reiser is certainly able to be put on RAID....which BTW is the underlying H/W (I hope) technology to provide fault tolerant partitions....Linux only sees the RAID array as a disk, nothing more and you can put Reiser FS on that disk no problem.

I've been looking at the AMI MegaRAID 100. It says that it has drivers for Redhat 6.0/6.1, but no one can tell me if it will work with SuSE or not. I did find one site that had a spec page on this card, and under their drivers support section, said that this card WAS supported directly by the 2.4.x kernel. Can anyone verify this? Thanks Charles
Does anyone know of a program that does the same thing (clones an entire hard drive, partitions, boot sector and all), but runs under Linux? Or is there a simple way to do this from the comand line? On the same note, what about a way to create an ISO image of a hard drive, again, including all partitions AND the boot sector/LILO? Thanks! Charles

Last I looked at Ghost, it said it supported Linux, but no details. I have been using cluclo (search on freshmeat). It creates a boot floppy that will format a HD and tar in from a CD, NSF export or whatever you ask for. Works well. Greg Engel

Yes, I have been using Ghost for quite a while now, but there are no DOS device drivers (that I've been able to find) for the AMI IDE100 RAID card, which is why I want something that runs native in Linux. Thanks for the tip on cluclo - I'll look into it! Charles

Ghost will work, but I don't like it. Check out Systemimager. ( http://www.systemimager.org/ ) It's really cool, you can have a machine upload itself to an image server and simply boot computers with a boot disk (or net boot as I do) and they will install automatically, without user intervention. When it's done, the trget system(s) will stop responding to pings and start beeping. You can install on many multiple computers simultaneously. We use it here, I really like it. - -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE61aaw+FOexA3koIgRAmKqAJ4o4tnyRhPCbkf3HEL7GSPusfDMKQCfSyTS 5FFdCg3BwgV091ebfDi+JCE= =GDv4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
