Re: [SLE] Linux RAID?

Hi I'm using SW RAID with 2x40Gb HD. Here is my partition table for hda Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5005 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 17 136521 83 Linux /dev/hda2 18 5005 40066110 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda3 54613 89778 282460179 0 Empty Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary: phys=(370, 0, 50) should be (370, 254, 63) And for hdc: Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 5005 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 1 17 136521 82 Linux swap /dev/hdc2 18 5005 40066110 fd Linux raid autodetect Hope this helps Your setup.. This has been working exellent with me! The strange messages with hda does not bother me, because I have full 80Gb available... Jaska. On Monday 04 November 2002 23:12, harry302 wrote:

===== Original Message From Jack Malone ===== I'm using a 3ware raid card in a machine at home using raid 1 an i boot off of the raid aray with no problems. Not sure why you say you had to install the /boot on a non raid drive.

sorry about this. I am using software raid since i do not have hardware raid

===== Original Message From James.Rocks@equant.com ===== Hi,

I have just inherited a dual PIII/500 with a number of SCSI discs and I hope to build a machine with 3 x 4Gb & 1 x 9Gb drives. I have to have one of the 4Gb as ID 0 (because it is in a removable drive caddy and the 8Gb wont fit) but the rest don't matter overmuch and I have played around with SuSE 8.0 on it. SuSE can create a RAID on it (though as yet I haven't

tried

with a mix of 4 & 9Gb drives) but if I try to create a single raid I can't create a boot partition, if I create a boot partition I end up with boot, whatever's left on ID0 and then the rest as RAID.

So what I was after was some advice ... how would you set it up?

I have 2 ide drives 1 - 30 gig and the other 40 gig. each one is set up as the primary drive on each of the controllers.

I set it up for raid 1. /boot needs to be set up on a non raid partition and try installing 1- swap disk on each disk.

the rest of the file systems can be set up on raid partitions.

I did this with a fresh install of use 8.0. I also have windows 98 on the first drive and freebsd on the second drive.

My amd k63d 450 runs much faster now

good luck
