Ok thanks for that, am now confused as to where supposed to put my reply doesn't seem to make sense to put it at the bottom now.
what fedora version are you trying to install?
F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said
Sorry I had thought I had put it in the subject or the body of my original mail.
I'm using fedora 16. So do you suggest I try fedora 15, will fedora 16 be fixed in the ISO? Or some hot fix patch later? If the latter I presume there would be no way to do raid setup at install?
in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd"
but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install
this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed
from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all
Thanks for that, but from what you said about not replying at all, that's not very helpful as how are they supposed to know there is a problem with fedora 16 and raid, I've googled this extensively and not found any mention of this!

I've put /boot on a raid 1 partition.
When installing the boot loader it gives you the option of master boot
record or the raid device so naturally tried both, unsure why it gives
you the option for raid device if this is wrong.

in a virtual machine was upgraded without problems but it is stillusing GRUB and not GRUB2How do you install it manually?

i heard from some troubles with Fedora 16 and RAID
currently no topic for me
tried installing it on the raid device
this can only be wrong
the bootloader can not act with any RAID device
that is why /boot needs to be RAID1 or a single disk
at boot time it is handeled like a single-disk and
that is also why you need to install the boot-loader
manually on the other drives to have a bootable
machine if your first fails

I'm having a hard time getting it to install the boot loader have
tried installing it on the raid device and also on the master boot
record but both fail.

Hello Reindl,
Thanks very much for replying to my question, what if I wanted swap to
be a partition tho, would I create a 4GB partition on each of the 4
drives or make it 2GB partition on each of the 4 drives?
no idea, since i wanted the setup as easy to maintain as possible
in the case of a drive failure i decided only to split boot, system
and data and all other stuff i do not want on the system disk
is on /mnt/data with bind-mounts
my machines have 16 GB RAM, swap is not really a topic there
What about using LVM with raid 10?
also no idea, that is why i took 2x4 TB disks
enough free space for the next 10 years
of the 1.6 TB used are 500 GB local backups
and the rest contains a bundle of virtual machines
including a backup-vm for nearly all data i maintain
so no, i do not think about expand the array :-)
/dev/md2 ext4 3,7T 1,6T 2,1T 44% /mnt/data
