1 Sanity check please gurus :)
2 I've installed the new disks, partitioned them and created the md
3 devices, which are now syncing. The kernel already has all the modules
4 built in. I believe the next steps are;
5 1 mkfs the md devices
6 2 copy the partitions from the current disk to the mirror
7 3 edit fstab on the mirror
8 4 install mbr on both submirror disks
9 5 halt the box
10 6 set the bios boot order to the two sub mirrors
11 7 boot from mirror
12
13 Is that incorrect or incomplete? Do I need to be concerned about disk
14 devices being renamed when the original disk is removed?
