Subject: raid-1 without marking partition as type "fd"
Date: Wed, 02 Nov 2005 18:57:24 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43697C94.3080400@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am following rootraiddoc.97.html howto and it suggests creating an
"fd" (RAID) parition. I didn't do this and I still have a working raid-1
bootable partition. I left the both partitions are regular "linux" and
everything seems to work fine.
Isn't this a better approach than marking it "fd"? This way I can take
one of the disks to a machine that knows nothing about raid and still
read data. I know this might work only with raid-1. Am I missing something?
Any help is appreciated
