Subject: fd filesystem and RAID1
Date: 03 Apr 2004 09:02:37 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1080948756.999.10.camel@localhost> (raw)

I've been able to do everything involved in setting up a simple RAID1
with 2 IDE disks on Slackware 9.1 except get it to actually keep working
on reboot. 

I installed on one disk, built 'degraded' RAID1 devices on the second
disk, copied data, etc. I can hot add devices from the original disk to
the RAID arrays. RAID devices in /etc/fstab come up (in degraded mode)
on boot.

The problem is that hot-added devices never stick, the RAID arrays are
always degraded again on reboot. 

mdadm complains of missing superblocks. I have read the man page but
can't see how to manage superblocks (create/delete) if this is even
possible.

I'm wondering if have to make the original install partitions type 'fd'
as well as those on the second disk?
