Root RAID HOWTO cookbook
v1.13, July 17, 2000
This document only applys to the
OLD
raidtools, versions 0.50 and under. The workarounds and solutions addressed in this write up have largely been made obsolete by the vast improvment in the 0.90 raidtools and accompanying kernel patch to the 2.0.37, 2.2x and 2.3x series kernels. You may find the detailed descriptions useful, particularly if you plan to run root raid or use initrd. Check these links for a reference to set up of
Boot Root Raid using conventional LILO
and accompanying initrd working scripts. What follows is the description of the now
OBSOLETE Root RAID HOWTO
. This document was originally written to provide a cookbook for creating a root mounted raid filesystem and companion fallback rescue system using linux initrd. There are complete step-by-step instruction for both raid1 and raid5 md0 devices. Each step is accompanied by an explanation of it's purpose. Included with this revision is a generic
linuxrc
initrd file which may be configured with a single three line
/etc/raidboot.conf
file for raid1 and raid5 configurations.
