http://forums.fedoraforum.org – Hi, all ! I have a Fedora 11 on my server . It has already been running for a month . I want to have RAID 1 on this server.But it has LVM on it ,so I can not be sure if I will lose some data as I want to use the second hard disk as a backup disk .Here is some details of my server: fdisk -l Code: Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ac83c Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary. /dev/sda2 26 9726 77919263+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00003fed Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 9726 78124063+ 8e Linux LVM Disk /dev/dm-0: 157.6 GB, 157672275968 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19169 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Disk /dev/dm-1: 2113 MB, 2113929216 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 257 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table df -h Code: dev/mapper/vg_shenzhem-lv_root 145G 28G 116G 19% / /dev/sda1 194M 30M 155M 16% /boot tmpfs 498M 112K 498M 1% /dev/shm I think I need to disable LVM first ,but some of the files maybe can not be mount .I followed it like this: http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-rai...system-fedora8 But this gentleman just copy data from sda to sdb , I cannot do that,I think it will overwrite some data on sdb. Does anybody have any idea about this? I think I should be careful .I need to fully know the result before I take the next step.The data in the server is really inportant. Any advice is welcome. Thank you ! (HowTos)
