Hi folks I started with the mentioned how-to, but I didn't get far on my debian etch Server. The problems are starting already here: I got the following output on my server, even tough I followed the "perfect setup for debian etch server": The main problem is, that my second partitions are both "Extended" and not like in the how-to "Linux swap / Solaris" and "Linux". Do anybody knows what I did wrong or if I could set up the RAID 1 even tough? Because I got problems in the following step: I get following error at the second partition: Any ideas?
Run Code: fdisk /dev/hdc Instead of Code: Command (m for help): <-- t Partition number (1-4): <-- 2 you type Code: Command (m for help): <-- t Partition number (1-4): <-- [B][COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR][/B] because your second partition is on/dev/hdc5.
Oh, I got it, thanks Falko. So have I got it right, that in the how-to there are 3 partitions and on my system are only 2 partitions. I don't have to do anything with the "Extended"-Partition? Thanks a lot!
It worked like a charm! Thanks again Falko! I can confirm that the how-to also works with the partitions described from me in this thread (2 Partitions with Extended Version). So I got only md0 (/ and /boot together on one partition) and md1. Works flawlessly!
So sda1 and sda5 only? I know this is an old post but some things have changed since 10.04 I am currently using 12.04 By default with a regular ubuntu installation in a pc with a single drive is to have the partitions: the main partition (sda1) and an extended partition (sda2) which contains the swap partition (sda5) Can anybody confirm that is only need to create two (and not three) raid-arrays, md1 and md5 which correspond to sda1 <-> sdb1 and sda5 <-> sdb5 ? Please let me know if you need further information! Thank you
Redirect dear falco thanks for the tip! I would like to redirect your attention to this thread where you can find my main problem for setting up software raid 1: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=289367#post289367 Thank you!
