Hi,
Now that the drives are partitioned (thanks again Phil!), we need to
make raid drives on them.
I tried to use the:
#boot
part raid.01 --asprimary --onpart hda1
part raid.02 --asprimary --onpart hdb1
#usr
part raid.03 --onpart hda2
part raid.04 --onpart hdb2
#var
part raid.05 --onpart hda3
part raid.06 --onpart hdb3
#swap
part raid.07 --onpart hda5
part raid.08 --onpart hdb5
#/
part raid.09 --onpart hda6
part raid.10 --onpart hdb6
#home
part raid.11 --onpart hda7
part raid.12 --onpart hdb7
#
raid /boot --level=RAID1 --device md1 --fstype ext3 raid.01 raid.02
raid /usr --level=RAID1 --device md4 --fstype ext3 raid.03 raid.04
raid /var --level=RAID1 --device md3 --fstype ext3 raid.05 raid.06
raid --level=RAID1 --device md6 --fstype swap raid.07 raid.08
raid / --level=RAID1 --device md2 --fstype ext3 raid.09 raid.10
raid /home --level=RAID1 --device md5 --fstype ext3 raid.11 raid.12
but that did not work and the error pop-up in kickstart was:
"A raid device of type RAID1 requires at least two members"
The alt-f3 error messages claim
"Your root partition is less than 250 megabytes which is lower than is
recommended for a redhat linux install"
So I should create the raid partitions from first principals too, or is
there something in the above that is not correct.
I have no idea how to use mkraid, and the man page for is is extremely
skimpy, so any examples are well worth showing here.
TTYL,
Blair.
