Subject:  Migrating software raid from SUSE 9.0 to Centos 5


I have a SUSE 9.0 box with a software raid.
It consists of 6 IDE drives and three different controllers
The OS is on a separate drive.
What I want to do is put a new boot drive in load Centos on it.
Then I want to be able to mount the raid without loosing any of the data on
it.
What information do I need from the SUSE OS (raid info etc...) to tell
Centos how to recognize it?
The data is backup on DVD's but it would be a real pain to reload it.(its
around a terabyte of data)
So I'm writing here for some advice.
I've setup many raids in the past but only fresh installs.
Thanks

Hi,

It should not be any problem but you will have to install the kernel from the centosplus repository since the base kernel does not include support for reiserfs.

Thanks,
Finnur
