software raid is garbage most of the time. If you want to use raid you have to edit /etc/raidtab you have to edit it to use the drives you have.

IE:

raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 1


This would mean that 1st and 2nd haddrive, first partition are gonna mirror eachother.

check out http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-R...O-5.html#ss5.1 It's really easy. After you make this conf, I think you just do /dev/md0 start or something like that
