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.
