I'm pretty sure there is but I'm asking to make sure ..
I have a live system on sda and currently using rsync to backup to sdb (identical size disk).
Also all partitions - including root and boot - are running reiserfs
Can I add RAID 1 on the fly without disturbing my live system ?
Probably not, you will likely find enough differences that your second drive will have to be whiped and then it can be added to your first drive and the system will rebuild it.
If so, can it be guaranteed ? And, could I be pointed to a procedure ?
Guaranteed? Comeon!!! Who's going to guarantee that? Your best and safest method is to create a new raid with new matched disks, and then populate it with your old data structures. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
