Hello there everyone,

I have a PDC20276 onboard, and I like to put this in a mirror raid. I have now installed one drive(10GB)on the raid-controller(1+0 stripe). I had installed FC2 on that drive, updated to the latest kernel 2.6.8-1.521, I also installed the source-code of that kernel. Than I had read the dmraid readme file, I downloaded 2.6.8.1-udm1 from http://sources.redhat.com/dm/patches.html did what the say:

> cd /tmp
> tar jxvf 2.6.8.1-udm1.tar.bz2
> cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-1.521
> cat /tmp/2.6.8.1-udm1/*.patch | patch -p1

Questions:

1.Source-code is now patched, do i need recompile the kernel?

2.Howdo I enable device, including mirror?

3.Is device mapper, userpace installed by default in a 2.6 kernel, I can    
only find source tarballs for kernel 2.4 at http://sources.redhat.com/dm/

4.When do I need to install the second drive, to put them in a mirror-raid, afther I installed the software or before?

Kind regards,

K.Verhoeven
