Hi, I'm going to try again to build the raid1 array, but I was wondering if the GPT partitions should be created first on the physical disks, then create & assemble the array? Or, if the array should be created & assembled, then partition the array? I'm raiding the whole disk(s), not partitions. My feeling is that the array should be built first, then partitioned, but I have been known to be wrong... :-) Also, is there any special order to the partitions, i.e., does the bios boot partition have to be the first partition on the array? Thanks. -John -- 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
