My adventure installing Linux on softRAID0/1 (part 3)

Posted by jamba on September 10, 2009

Part 1
Part 2

I fiddled around with this for a while, and ALMOST had it working.  However, on boot, my root RAID was not built, so boot would not continue.  I’m pretty sure something is out of order somewhere in some setting, but as of yet I have not been able to figure this out.

So,  I am still running on 1/2 of a RAID setup… on 64-bit Arch Linux, Loving it, as usual.  Have gnome up and everything, and it went MUCH quicker this time, as I had done it previously (installing 32-bit version on my laptop).  Actually, it went a lot smoother, since I knew what to expect, and when to do things and whatnot.

Anyhow, so I have half of this array going, and I believe what I am going to do is alter my design again, and enable/build the /home array and use that (which is the most important, and sole reason of doing this, anyway).  Then figure out the / and /boot parts later on when I get a chance.

As for right now…I’m off for the beach.  It will do me good to leave computers alone for a few days.  It has so far, I haven’t done anything computer related all week! (been on vacation)

Have a  good weekend, and I will continue (and hopefully/probably conclude) with part 4 when I return.
