If at first you don't succeed ... Success at last, or so it seems. The new sections on lilo were quite helpful, I could have used even more hand-holding on the whole lilo thing (MBR vs root, etc), though I suppose that is a different topic really. One of my problems previously was that the box didn't have a floppy drive, so a boot disk wasn't an option for changing lilo.conf. Also, this time I formatted with mke2fs rather than letting setup do it, as you suggest. I'm wondering, is the stride=32 parameter to mke2fs necessary for RAID1 arrays? I used it anyway. If I were to suggest any new info to be included in the HOW-TO, maybe the setup of simple RAID1 with two disks could be explicitly addressed as well. Perhaps this could then lead onto RAID5 setup. Anyway, thanks a lot John, I've still got a lot to learn, but this is a great start.
