I have a motherboard with an Intel ICH9R RAID chip. I have an existing RAID 5 setup over three disks which is NTFS formatted. I'm dual booting and I'd like to be able to access the RAID device in both Linux and Windows (and possibly OSX86, if I can ever get the darn thing to work).
Hi all, sorry if this is in the wrong forum (wasn't sure if it should be in Software or not), anyways...
I have recently reinstalled Fedora with a new partition structure. I have 4x 1.5 TB HDDs and the majority of the space forms RAID 5 array. However, because of my previous install /boot, /home and / were also on these drives and the new install these are on a NEW hard drive.
I know Linux has great capabilities over the years of using it but I can't seem to find an exact name or setup for this scenario. I want to do Matrix RAID (that is not the correct general name but it was as close as I got) on two HDD. I want to put the OS in RAID 1 for redundancy and then have another partition or folder as RAID 0 for TV recordings both on two HDD.
I currently have openSuse 11.0 installed on a software dmraid raid5 volume. Today I tried to install openSuse 11.2 instead, but I got stuck in the partitioning. I have a /home partition which is also a software dmraid raid5 volume and I want this partition to be left untouched.
Before my installation of 12.04 server I read a lot on the forum about raid install and problems with Grub not being able to boot from anything other than a raid 1 array. However I had no problem at all with installation on a raid 6 array (5 disks) using mdadm.
What I did using Alternate 12.04 CD:
1. Choose Manual partion
2. Wipe all 5 drives
3. Assign all drives to a Raid 6 array
4.
I have three drives (sda, sdb and sdc) which are partitioned into two partitions each set to "raid linux autodetect". The first partition is used for a RAID 0, the second partition for a RAID 1 on LVM.
For some reason sdc1 drops out of the RAID 0 and can only be re-added after a reboot. sdc2 stays in its RAID 1 though.
Hi all. Starting an install & a bit unsure on a couple of points with a RAID/LUKS/LVM combination. In condensed form I have a 2T and a 1T disk.
I'm trying to install /boot in a RAID 1 using 3 TB disks. As the RAID partition do not let you manage partitions than more than 2 TB, CentOS automatically configures the partitions using GPT.
My current machine (HP Proliant ML110 G4) does not support EFI/GPT so it uses MBR to boot the system.
Fedora 11. Im trying to setup kickstart so it lays out a mirrored volume group.
I have 2 disks sda and sdb. I want a primary partition on each disk 200mb in size for /boot. This is to be mirrored onto raid device md0 (raid 1).
The rest of each disk is to be setup partition which grows to use the remaining space, and is also mirrored (raid 1) md1.
