Oops! I already created a 1.2 Superblock. Well, no biggie. I'll just trash it and do it over.

Uh... yeah. That could be ugly. That's why I like to have a cold drive on the shelf configured with the entire OS. > Oh, and you'll also very likely want grub to read the /boot > filesystem, which is why it must be on a partition followed by the > raid header, instead of a partition containing a raid header and raid > protected partition. That use is OK since grub operates read-only. I think I follow you, here. IOW, partition the drive, create the md target, and then format the RAID array, right? Or are you saying one should format the partition and then create the RAID array on top of it? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
