You can read about my success creating a Linux bootable RAID 1 system at http://www.litzinger.com/raid.html Thanks to all for your help in this effort, and Neil Brown for creating mdadm and whatever else he may have contributed. At this point I still have a few questions. One is swap. Do I setup of the swap as a RAID device, using the 0xfd partition system id? Or do I stick with the two entries in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda6 swap swap pri=1 0 0 /dev/hdc6 swap swap pri=1 0 0 Unlink md, these entries don't automatically move about when I move the physical drives around in the system. Another is failure mode. A noticed in the archives that some people setup additional LILO entries which map to the individual drives as if they had no RAID. Is this important? I presume that md silently maps whatever drives from the array that are available under /dev/md. Are the extra entries so you can still boot the drives if the md driver is missing or fails for some reason? Can anyone explain this LABEL thing in /etc/fstab?
