My box is installed there on two sata disk:
[root@jack ~]# dmraid -r
/dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_egeafiab", mirror, ok, 390721966 sectors,
data@ 0
/dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_egeafiab", mirror, ok, 390721966 sectors,
data@ 0
[root@jack ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
1020032 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md3 : active raid1 sdb5[1] sda5[0]
152360320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
40957632 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
This is software raid without BIOS help, and I'm using lvm on those raid
devices.
[root@jack ~]# pvs
PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree
/dev/md1 rootvg lvm2 a- 39,03G 13,19G
/dev/md3 datavg lvm2 a- 145,28G 0
and md0 is an ext3 /boot
What do you mean in "2)"? I have partition tables on the raid (lvm
stuff) _and_ raid on partitions..
Is this supported, am I failing in the 6) category? I was planning a
reinstall but cannot afford loosing datavg
TIA
Laurent
