Chris> Out of interest, what mountpoint is /dev/md0? /home? |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
It is /mnt/md0. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Then I do: |
| 6 |
ln -s /mnt/md0/usr to /usr |
| 7 |
ln -s /mnt/md0/var to /var |
| 8 |
ln -s /mnt/md0/home to /home |
| 9 |
ln -s /mnt/md0/tmp to /tmp |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This actually caused problems, because some of the links in /usr/bin |
| 12 |
were to ../../sbin/xyz, but since /usr/bin/../.. is actually /mnt/md0, |
| 13 |
these links didn't resolve right. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I wish I knew a better way, but I want to have /usr, /var, and /home |
| 16 |
all be on the same huge partition. I don't want to bust up my 1.5TB |
| 17 |
partition just for a /usr and /var, and I don't have enough space on |
| 18 |
my / partition for both of them. |

Chris> What did you do to compile your kernel? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
make && modules_install |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Chris> Did you use genkernel --menuconfig all? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
No, I didn't realize it was necessary. Is that how genkernel figures |
| 27 |
out what modules to put in the initrd? If that's the case, I could go |
| 28 |
back to using modules. |

Chris> Can you post your bootloader config? |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'm appending my current .config and my /boot/grub/grub.conf |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Chris> Run make menuconfig. Under Device Drivers |
| 35 |
Chris> --->ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support ---> there is an option in the |
| 36 |
Chris> kernel: [*] Boot off-board chipsets first support |
| 37 |
Chris> make that static, and it will boot your via controller first |
| 38 |

I don't understand --- doesn't this FORCE my PCI IDE controller to be |
| 41 |
first? |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I have one final question: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Now that I've gone out and bought two more dual-bus IDE controllers, |
| 46 |
how do I know which disk was in which order in the RAID5 chain so that |
| 47 |
I can get the chain back again after all the drive names change? |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
Thanks, |
