just wanted to ask before i mess something up. |
| 2 |
i have booted off the install cd, created a raidtab with my mirrored |
| 3 |
drives on it. i have created the raid. now, do i go in and setup the |
| 4 |
partitions i want on that raid? or should i have done that before |
| 5 |
creating the raid? so instead of having one big mirror and then |
| 6 |
partitioning that, do i need to create my seperate partitions and then |
| 7 |
mark them as "fd" and then create each raid seperate? |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
i think im confusing myself here. can you partition a raid device aka |
| 10 |
/dev/md0? when i look at it in fdisk it shows the partitions of both |
| 11 |
drives (they are the same). if i partition md0 and try to write the |
| 12 |
table i get : |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with |
| 15 |
error 22: Invalid argument. |
| 16 |
The kernel still uses the old table. |
| 17 |
The new table will be used at the next reboot. |
| 18 |
Syncing disks. |

| 20 |
did i just set myself up for failure? or is it going to work? im doing |
| 21 |
this install remotely so i really cant reboot to see if its going to |
| 22 |
work, but i dont want to continue with the install if im just wasting |
| 23 |
my time. thats why im asking here to be sure. this is on sparc |
| 24 |
hardware, but i dont think that will make a difference. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
TIA |
