Software raid, booting and bios

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

 



Hello,

I use software raid (mdadm). The main problem for me is that when the
drive with the MBR fails, it can become a problem to boot.

When the bios would use another drive to boot when the first drive
failes, this problem would be gone. But I don't know rackservers who do
that. Do you?

Or is there maybe some kind of fake-raid card what uses mdadm to solve
this problem?

Another way would be to use e.g. an USB device to boot to solve this
problem. Any experiences with that?

(hmm, I realize that netboot is an option too).

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
