Hello,
I want to migrate from one-disk installation to RAID1 array where
initial boot disk will be one of the components of array. I created
RAID1 in degraded mode (I have only two IDE disks: wd0 and wd1, but in
raid0.conf I wrote /dev/wd2b and /dev/wd1d). Then I copied my current
boot disk contents to new array (tar -Xcpf - / | tar -C /mnt -xvpf -)
and marked raid0 as root (raidctl -A root raid0). After reboot I have
raid as boot disk. In the raid0 I have now failed component0 and
optimal /dev/wd1b. After adding /dev/wd0b as spare disk,
reconstruction failed component0 to it (raidctl -F component0 raid0)
and initialization of parity (raidctl -P raid0) I have such raid0:
# raidctl -s raid0
raid0 Components:
component0: spared
/dev/wd1b: optimal
Spares:
/dev/wd0b: used_spare
Parity status: clean
Reconstruction is 100% complete.
Parity Re-write is 100% complete.
Copyback is 100% complete.
It's good but I want to have two optimal raid0 components: /dev/wd0b
and /dev/wd1b, not as spared component0 and used_spare /dev/wd0b. What
I need to do for it?
And one more question. I have raid0b as swap partition but kernel puts on boot:
swapmount: no device
Kernel was booted from /dev/wd0a and /dev/wd0b is a raid partition.
Where does it search swap partition 'b': on wd0 or on new root -
raid0?
