RFE: configure RAID with missing devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there an RFE process for anaconda (e.g. should I put this in BZ or
something)?

It would be nice if there was a way for anaconda to create software RAID
sets with missing devices.  Right now, the only way to accomplish that
is to build the RAID and LVM config manually.

I use this when rebuilding a PC with software RAID 1 to make it safer.
I disconnect one drive, install the new system to the other, then
reconnect and copy data/config.  Once I'm comfortable with the state of
the new system, I delete everything from the old drive and add it to the
new mirror.

mdadm supports this; you can use "missing" in place of a device like
/dev/sda1.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
