Ok well I just got done with this I wanted to show u guys for final inspection. Took me a few days of working on this Linux box to cover if something failed. This is after you set up the raid partitions with Linux fedora core 4 in the setup and then something strage happens and one of your drives fail. If some one wants the tutorial on how to set up raid on fedora step by step i have that written down as well. Well hear is the doc please look and give me some criticism let me know if im missing something or doing something the wrong way.

quick hint, bud. Save it as an htm, not a doc. make a webpage- not everyone has .doc reading capabilities (openoffice yaddayadda, it's still wierd and a hassle) It would be nicer to read online straight.

thanks for the effort- not many people like writing documentation.

sorry about that i made a .txt file real quick

a nice step by step article. please think about adding it to the wiki: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org

i'm definitely interested in your fedora raid1 step by step instructions.

please post (html, .doc, .txt, .rtf... i'm not picky). i'm going to be getting a new fedora setup and would like to consider setting up raid1.

GNewbie- have you read the first post? the links are there.

Welcome to LQ! good luck on your fedora install.

tg,

the links for what to do when a HD fails are there. what i'd like are the notes to set up the RAID1 system in the first place. i didn't see those links.

GNewbie

oh sorry- hehehe.

as a side note- docs are notorious for holding viruses, so some people are wary of them.
