I've got a large number of linux server to build and I'm using SuSE's ALICE
install program to build them. ALICE is SuSE's auto install program and has
limited functionality. Most importantly, it doesn't do RAID. So what I'm
doing is having ALICE partition two drives with the partitions being of type
"FD". It installs linux just fine on "sda" and when it's all done, I boot a
rescue disk, and do a "mkraid -c ./raidtab --really-force /dev/md[0-4]" to
create the mirrors. I'm just trying it out now and it seems to be working but
I've got very little experience working with SoftRAID and I thought I'd ask
if I'm playing with fire!!
the mkraid command warns me that it will delete all the data on the partitions
when creating the mirrors, but it doesn't.
What sort of implications am I looking at with this? Will it be unstable?
cheers,
