This wont't work since only data written to md0 gets mirrored. You can't mirror |
| 6 |
an existing partition. An mkraid will probably destroy partition A2. |

You'll have to unmount the partiton A2 and mount md0 at some time. There's no |
| 9 |
way to do this on the fly AFAIK. |

But theres still a little shortcut: |

First, let me recommend you mdadm. It's a replacement for the old raidtools. |
| 14 |
*Much* better IMHO. |

|

- Create a new RAID1 in degraded state from B2: |
| 17 |
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level 1 --raid-devices 2 /dev/B2 missing |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
- Copy contents from A2 to md0 |
| 20 |
- umount A2 |
| 21 |
- add A2 to md0: |
| 22 |
# mdadm /dev/md0 --add /dev/A2 |
| 23 |
