Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Well it's been almost a year since I tried to set up |
| 4 |
a simple raid1 workstation. (I.E. 2 identical drives, |
| 5 |
boo/root/swap only with Raid 1). So I'm starting over. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I found this link: |

|
| 10 |
Is this the best document to follow? |
| 11 |
(note, I'm going to try to avoid using LVM: |

Disk /dev/md127 doesn't contain a valid partition table |
| 47 |
<snip many more /dev/md### partitions. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
So the drives are setup identical, and are identical 2T seagate |
| 51 |
drivers. The md### partitions are all screwed up. So I think |
| 52 |
I should just nuke all the data and start over, just keeping |
| 53 |
the formatting. |

parted shows the drives as set up fine (???), I just need to |
| 83 |
erase each partition from here? Suggestions? |
