Hi all,
As I mentioned in another post, I have been using a technique that at
least for me greatly simplifies moving to and from RAID-1 on any
system. I do this by installing the system on a degraded RAID-1 array
and then later it is very simple to make the system true RAID by just
adding the missing drive/partitions.
From the other Fedora 8/9 wishlist post:
Another thing in Disk Druid that I would like to see is the ability to
install on a degraded RAID-1 array where I declare RAID-1 but then the
second mirror is missing. I install this way all the time on systems
and then when I add the second hard drive later and place it into the
array, it just syncs. Want to go back to just a single drive - no
problem. Just fault the device and remove it. No complicated
remounting filesystems or anything - very smooth. This way you're
always on an md device. I would like to see this actually become the
default. It makes it very easy to convert a system to RAID-1 later on
if the user would like to do so without any complicated procedures
necessary.
Gerry
