I've been able to do everything involved in setting up a simple RAID1 with 2 IDE disks on Slackware 9.1 except get it to actually keep working on reboot. I installed on one disk, built 'degraded' RAID1 devices on the second disk, copied data, etc. I can hot add devices from the original disk to the RAID arrays. RAID devices in /etc/fstab come up (in degraded mode) on boot. The problem is that hot-added devices never stick, the RAID arrays are always degraded again on reboot. mdadm complains of missing superblocks. I have read the man page but can't see how to manage superblocks (create/delete) if this is even possible. I'm wondering if have to make the original install partitions type 'fd' as well as those on the second disk? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
