I'm sorta new to doing software raid in linux, so I did an install of Redhat 7.3 on a machine with two disks and set it up for raid 1 during install so I could grab the resulting anaconda-ks.cfg and use it to write my own ks.cfg on some other boxes. I have a question though about some of the output in the file that resulted from the install. The part in question is below: #part raid.28 --size=32 --ondisk=sda --asprimary #part raid.44 --size=32 --ondisk=sdb --asprimary #part raid.46 --size=10000 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.29 --size=10000 --ondisk=sda #part raid.42 --size=5824 --grow --ondisk=sda #part raid.49 --size=5820 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.51 --size=1500 --ondisk=sdb #part raid.41 --size=1500 --ondisk=sda #raid swap --fstype swap --level=RAID1 raid.41 raid.51 #raid / --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.29 raid.46 #raid /boot --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.28 raid.44 #raid /tmp --fstype ext3 --level=RAID1 raid.42 raid.49 Where do those numbers come from in "raid.<#>"? If I didn't first do an install from CD, how would I know what numbers to use? Is it recommended to include swap in a raid 1 configuration? Thanks for your input! -- Brian K.
