Yes, I've used RedHat for a few years and still like RH9.0 as a desktop machine. I could set RAID up easily on RedHat but I never really understood anything much about it, and especially how to manage, tweak, fix or monitor it later on. I've tried several distros out as the basis of a server project I'm working on and have found Slackware 9.1 to be the best all-round solution in terms of speed, stability and *overall* simplicity. I'm comfortable on the command line (the server has no GUI) and am actually keen to learn how to use the command line tools. When I get the process right, I'll simply script it as much as possible. :-) On Wed, 2004-03-31 at 12:36, Guy wrote: > I can't answer your question, but... > > RedHat 9.0 makes it real easy to configure RAID during the install. > You can also configure LVM during the install if you want. > So, no need to do these post-install things you now need to do. > I am using RedHat 9.0 myself. > > I bet RedHat's Fedora is as easy. > > Guy > > -----Original Message----- > From: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org > [mailto:linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org] On Behalf Of Ninti Systems > Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:34 PM > To: RAID Linux > Subject: /boot RAID1 > > I've set up everything to switch my fresh Slackware 9.1 install on > /dev/hda over to RAID1 devices set up on /dev/hda (currently 'missing') > and /dev/hdc. > > Before I switch, I need to check one thing which isn't clear to me from > the Software RAID HowTo: > > I currently have a separate partition (/dev/hda1) for /boot.
