Hi All,
I have a pc with 3x40GB IDE drives.
I have 2 RAID 5 devices setup-
/dev/md0 = 3 x 38GB as /
/dev/md1 = 3 x 2GB as SWAP
Debian base installs OK but when I get to the Grub installation I
get a
"Fatal Error" message.
I am telling Grub to install on /dev/md0 but it won't install.
Grub must be installed on a real disk.
Grub 2 as just receive a patch allowing RAID and LVM support.
For now, you must install grub on your drives (1, 2 or even the 3
making md0).
The root filesystem can be /dev/md0.
You could also make a small RAID 1 set consisting of 3 100MB partions
and set them up as /boot. Then turn the rest into a RAID 5 set, and
partition it (preferably with LVM) into /swap and /root. Then grub
will install on all three RAID1 partitions and if one disk fails, it
will simply start from the other RAID 1 disks.
