Alright. The boss would like us to start using the onboard Promise (PDC20265) chip for RAID1 now. I'm going to me moving it over this weekend. Before I do that I wanted to make a checklist to make sure I have all my facts straight. 1. Get kernel. I got 2.4.12, set it up and compiled it (with a similar config as the old 2.4.9 I had in there. I selected anything Promise related). 2. Make a backup (just in case I hose everything, and to help with the install). 3. Get that backup drive booting. 4. Set up grub to boot off the /dev/ataraid/d0 and set my root to /dev/ataraid/d0p<whatever> as well. 5. Shut down, unplug that backup drive, hit the power button. 6. Set up the array, and hope I get the right harddrive mirroring the other one. 7. Continue starting up and pray. Then fiddle, using the backup hard drive as a rescue system. Did I miss anything important? Like patching the kernel or some sort of userspace stuff?
