Why don't you do everything from the text/gui installation of fc6
instead of swapping distributions?
You can do everything you have said within the fc6 installer:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/install-guide/fc6/en/sn-disk-druid.html
boot in raid1 on sda1/sdb1
swap,/ and /export as raid5 on sd{abcd}{234}
...
I don't want to do an install - I already have a working machine and
don't want to loose all of my changes and configuration. I did try this
as well but was unable to figure out how to break out of the installer
after the disks were partitioned/formatted so I could just do a restore.
Also, I need to do a restore once the disks are assembled into the
raid. If I plug my external disk in and boot it becomes sda which
screws up the raid. If I plug in later in rescue mode, it isn't
autodetected and I was unable to get the right modules loaded. That is
why I tried knoppix.
you don't have to use LVM.
I am not using LVM. However, LVM seems to latch onto sda at boot time
and keeps it busy which causes problems.
I am just surprised this is so difficult.
