Re: raid'ing problems

[Andy Dawson <A.J.Dawson@Bradford.ac.uk>]

Hi Peter,

I'd follow the instructions here: 
http://www.linuxhowtos.org/System/raid.htm

Note that I've not actually tried it myself, but from a quick glance 
through appears to be reasonable.

Of course you do have a backup before you start just in case, don't you?

Following the instructions at the end of the page worked for me when I was 
setting up Grub to boot from a software RAID1 array.

Regards
Andy
