Re: switching root fs '/' to boot from RAID1 with grub

[Janek Kozicki <janek_listy@wp.pl>]

Thanks!

It all worked really great, I had to correct only one typo:

> device /dev/sda (hd0)

into this:

  device (hd0) /dev/sda

I have debian etch here, and I didn't have to rebuild initrd kernel.
Also I didn't have to disconnect hda drive, I just selected a
different boot device during boot (without even going into bios, or
opening the case).

In fact.. the only "trouble" I had here is that I needed to connect a
PS2 keyboard to this box ;-) (it's a just a backup machine)


And now I have a full RAID1 array. Now just two questions:

1. when I `shutdown -r now` I see a worrying message at the end:

    Stopping array md2 .... done (stopped)
    Stopping array md1 .... done (stopped)
    Stopping array md0 .... failed (busy)
    Will now reboot
    md: Stopping all md devices
    md: md0 still in use
  
    <reboots>

   Is that ok ?

2. Will grub update all drives automatically, for instance when I will
   upgrade kernel by 'aptitude upgrade'? Or do I need to repeat your
   grub instructions each time a new kernel is installed?


thanks again!
