hello,

2day i'm very tired coz tried using raid 1 on my 2 sata hdd. here my hardware

80gb sata hdd
mainboard no raid controller

i tried study the tutorial abt raid 1 n until now cannot make it. may i know setting sata raid 1 same as ide raid 1. or can anybody show me how to use raid software like mdadm.

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
