Hi All, |

I haven't had to set up a software RAID for years and now. I want to set up |
4 |
two RAID 1 arrays on a new file server to serve SBM to MSWindows clients. The |
5 |
first RAID1 having two disks, where a multipartition OS installation will take |
6 |
place. The second RAID1 having two disks for a single data partition. |
7 |
|
8 |
From what I recall I used mdadm with --auto=mdp, to create a RAID1 from 2 |
9 |
disks, before I used fdisk to partition the new /dev/md0 as necessary. All |
10 |
this is lost in the fog of time. Now I read that these days udev names the |
11 |
devices/partitions, so I am not sure what the implication of this is and how |
12 |
to proceed. |
13 |
|
14 |
What is current practice? Create multiple /dev/mdXs for the OS partitions I |
15 |
would want and then stick a fs on each one, or create one /dev/md0 which |
16 |
thereafter is formatted with multiple partitions? Grateful for any pointers |
17 |
to resolve my confusion. |
