Hello Peter, |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
As many know, I have made many failed attempts to get btrfs in raid 1 working |
| 13 |
on gentoo, and have to this date, failed. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
OpenSuse-13.2 seems to solve this, but not in raid-1 config. I have read |
| 17 |
that you can easily add the second disk after install and change the config |
| 18 |
to raid-1. I'm working on this, but other things limit my time atm. |

Using YaST to config the btrfs under openSuse is a breeze. Once I have ti |
| 22 |
all fixed I can just copy the necessary files (fstab etc) to another system |
| 23 |
and install gentoo of top of those disks. |
| 24 |
|

|
| 26 |
Others use calculate linux or sabayon similarly and are quite happy with |
| 27 |
the results. I am hope that somebody figures this out and sees to it that |
| 28 |
the information makes it to the gentoo wiki, for all to benefit from robust |
| 29 |
usage of btrfs in raid-1. |

Sorry, that I could not be of more help. |

|
| 34 |
sincerely, |
