Hi All,

I'm looking for tips on how to do a CentOS server installation onto a hard drive, and then clone that drive to a RAID 1+0 array. I am fairly new at linux, but I think this would be the process:

install onto 2g usb drive (sde, boot and root)
boot into the OS and create the array using mdadm (sda, b, c, d)
Partition the array as desired, including / and swap
Use rsync to clone the / partition onto the array (/boot will stay on sde)
- I need to research the appropriate commands

Modify fstab and menu.lst
- are there any other places I need to modify?

Is this possible?

Thanks!

J

P.S. I could not find a way to set up the RAID first, or during installation, which would make this easier. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong keywords.

Sorry for the (gasp) triplicate posts. The site keeps timing out on me and I'm not paying attention because I have a two year old throwing a temper tantrum on the floor right now. I don't see an option to delete them.

The site is still experiencing some technical difficulties as a result of this.

You can go to the duplicates and click the Report button at the bottom of the page and ask a moderator to mark it for deletion.
