raid-1 without marking partition as type "fd"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I am following rootraiddoc.97.html howto and it suggests creating an "fd" (RAID) parition. I didn't do this and I still have a working raid-1 bootable partition. I left the both partitions are regular "linux" and everything seems to work fine. Isn't this a better approach than marking it "fd"? This way I can take one of the disks to a machine that knows nothing about raid and still read data. I know this might work only with raid-1. Am I missing something?

Any help is appreciated
