Hi, I have read the tutorial and before actually doing this, I have a question how to handle the extended parition. My partitioning is as follow: Code: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 29396 236018947+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 29397 29657 2096482+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 29658 30401 5976180 5 Extended /dev/sda5 29658 30401 5976148+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris I was thinking to copy the partion table and create md for sda1, sda2, sda3, sda5? And leave sda4 Extended as well as on /sdb4? Thanks!
It's working Hi, In the meantime I managed to get it all working, besides some minor issues. After the migration to RAID1, the rights on the /tmp has changed to 755 which caused some problems. Changing this back to 777 solved those issues. Here's the output of some of the config files (for those interested): /etc/fstab: Code: /dev/md1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 /dev/md2 /tmp ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/md3 swap swap defaults 0 0 mount: Code: /dev/md1 on / type ext3 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/md2 on /tmp type ext3 (rw) /dev/md0 on /boot type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) fdisk -l: Code: Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 14 29396 236018947+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 29397 29657 2096482+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda4 29658 30401 5976180 5 Extended /dev/sda5 29658 30401 5976148+ fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 14 29396 236018947+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 29397 29657 2096482+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb4 29658 30401 5976180 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 29658 30401 5976148+ fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md1: 241.6 GB, 241683333120 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 59004720 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md3: 6119 MB, 6119489536 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 1494016 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md3 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md2: 2146 MB, 2146697216 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 524096 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md2 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/md0: 106 MB, 106823680 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 26080 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table cat /proc/mdstat: Code: Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 104320 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 2096384 blocks [2/2] [UU] md3 : active raid1 sdb5[1] sda5[0] 5976064 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 236018880 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none>
