What am I missing when creating a raid 1 configuration. I added a new
disk to the system (/dev/sda) and put the old disk as /dev/sdb (these
are SATA drives)
I built a new system on /dev/sda (/ = /dev/sda6, /var = /dev/sda5,
/usr=/dev/sda6, /boot=/dev/sda1, and swap=/dev/sda3) and I left roughly
300 GB for /home at /dev/sda7.
I did the following:
fdisk and set /dev/sda7 to type fd (/dev/sda7 2569
48641 370081341 fd Linux raid autodetect)
mdadm --create /dev/md7 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda7 missing
(I'm planning to add /dev/sdb7 upon successful creation)
mkfs -V -t ext3 /dev/md7
e2label /dev/sdb2 /home1
e2label /dev/md7 /home
created a simple entry in /etc/mdadm.conf with "MAILADDR root"
next copied all my user data from /dev/sdb2 (my former /home partition)
to /dev/md7. This worked fine.
Then when I rebooted the system, /dev/md7 was gone and the system
mounted /dev/sda7 as /home
Where did I go wrong?
Thanks, Jeff
