I'm trying to set up a personal file server with software RAID 5. I just got three hard drives for this, but haven't found any solid documentation. I'm unsure what the basic way to partition my hard drives is.

I have Ubuntu 11.04 running on my home desktop which has 2 hard drives mirrored by RAID.

The drives are partitioned with a big data partition, a swap partition and a couple of 20Gb partitions for OSes, one is 11.04 which is in use, and the other is kept spare for installing a later version.

Hi all, I've just got a new laptop running windows vista 64 bit but going to be removing that & installing fedora 11 on it & seeing as Ubuntu doesn't come with a pae kernel as standard yet, fedora is the way to go :). the Hard drive is 2x500 gigs running in raid 0 mode

here's how I would like to install fedora

I have setup Raid 1 & Raid 10 in Virtual Box for learning purpose.

The following Partitions for 4 Hard Drives:

I make a 100mb partition (/boot) on four drives and make that a raid 1 partition.

Then with the remaining space on each drive, I've setup software raid 10 and configure it to LVM. In the LVM I setup a 4gb swap partition and 20GB for root partition (/) as ext4.

Hi guys,

I am trying to set up a home server with software raid. My new system has a MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard with Intel G620 and 3 WD Caviar Green 2.5Tb hard disks

I followed following instructions: http://wiki.graven-ict.nl/index.php/...oftware_RAID_5

Using ubuntu alternate on a USB drive to install it.

Basically I am making a partition of 256 MB on each disc setting it up as Rai

Post title explains it all, here is more info.

I have a server with 3 hard disks, here is the layout:

hard disk 1: /boot and swap partition (DEAD) hard disk 2: raid1 member hard disk 3: raid1 member

I installed the boot parition on a separate hard disk because I read somewhere that it was not advised to put the /boot partition inside a software RAID array (which is what I am currently u

So my dad recently upgraded his business computers from P4's to I7's and now i have a server in my possession. The specs are: P4 3.2ghz, 1.5gb DDR 400, 120gb SATA raid 1, windows server 2003 :frown:.

The install works fine until I have to partition the hard drives and install it.

Hey,

So a while ago with the upgrade to 10.04 my 4TB RAID 1 partition stopped mounting at boot, I had to open GParted and let it scan the drives before it would mount (weird).

Now with the upgrade to 11.10 the same partition does not mount at all, I cant get it to mount by toggling the raid flag for the partition in GParted and them running

Code: mount /dev/mapper/sil_bgadejajfgbb1 /some/

bios boot part on 2 disks 1 year 1 day ago

Apologies if this has already been covered; if it has I couldn't find it. First and foremost, this question does NOT pertain to a dual-boot system. I wish to set up a F16 system which uses GPT partitioning and needs a bios boot partition. I have two identical HDD's that will be set up as RAID 1 using software RAID.
