TK> Actually, I am looking for both Hardware and Software RAID howtos. There wouldn't be much to a hardware RAID howto: 1) Buy a supported RAID controller. 2) Connect it according to manufacturers instructions. 3) Configure it according to manufacturers instructions. These cards are usually configured through BIOS setup screens at boot time; Linux is not involved. (Hence no Linux content in the HOWTO.) 4) Install OS. The OS just sees some number of disks depending on how you configured the card. For instance, I have a 3ware 7810 card (which, sadly, you can no longer buy) with eight 100GB Western Digital IDE disks on it configured in one big RAID5 array. Linux sees a single (big) disk, /dev/sda: Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 85128 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 17 136521 83 Linux /dev/sda2 18 85128 683654107+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 18 400 3076416 83 Linux /dev/sda6 401 661 2096451 82 Linux swap /dev/sda7 662 792 1052226 83 Linux /dev/sda8 793 859 538146 83 Linux /dev/sda9 860 926 538146 83 Linux /dev/sda10 927 85128 676352533+ 8e Linux LVM You partition and run as usual. - J< _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
