Raid 1 setup
I'm installing fedora core 4 on a dell 420c server. (1 gig of ram) And I wanted to have software RAID 1 set up on it. I did read the documentation on it but I'm still not sure on how to get this done right. Its my first time around with RAID.
So I have two hard drives 40 gig each hda hdb On hda I have: 500 MB swap partion Rest is Software Raid filesys type On hdb I have: 500 MB swap partition Rest is Software Raid fileys type. I then create a RAID1 and mount it at / When I proceed to install it says that I do not have any room to install. Whats the best way to set this up. I basically just need it so if one drive craps out the other one takes over. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. |
Are you configuring the raid through the FC installer? Did it format the partition?

Yes I did it through the installer, the disk druid.
I'm not sure that it partitioned it. That just may be the problem. |
It sounds like the Raid device isn't formatted.
From linux rescue mode or using any of the Live-CD distros (e.g., Knoppix), try running: fsck -fcvC -t ext3 /dev/md0 Or just reformat the Raid1 as ext3: mke2fs -j /dev/md0 |
