Hi all!
One of these days I'm going to upgrade my centos 5.7 box (which is
currently configured with raid-1 on two drives) to 6.x.
i've been given to believe that I should be able to do a fresh install
on top of the existing raid setup, i.e., without having to re-create
the raid array, but just use the existing setup.
and somewhere in the last few days (in this list I think) someone posted
that Anaconda should detect the existing raid array and allow you to re-
use it for a new install.
so just as an experiment, I booted up the 6.2 DVD (not live) and took it
as far as where it sets up the partitioning. So, was I unduly surprised
when it DID NOT detect the existing raid? well, a little. more in the
category of NOT ENTIRELY PLEASED, actually.
I'd appreciate it if someone who knows something about linux hardware
raid, and its intersection with Anaconda, could drop a few clues in my
direction.
thanks in advance!
