I'd like to configure a RAID 1 on our existing install of RedHat AS 3. We currently have an additional hard drive that is the exact size as the existing drive. FDISK -l displays the following... Disk /dev/sda: 300.0 GB, 300000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36472 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 4 32098+ de Dell Utility /dev/sda2 5 1279 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 * 1280 1330 409657+ 83 Linux /dev/sda4 1331 36472 282278115 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 1331 3880 20482843+ 83 Linux /dev/sda6 3881 4141 2096451 82 Linux swap /dev/sda7 4142 35944 255457566 83 Linux /dev/sda8 35945 36205 2096451 82 Linux swap /dev/sda9 36206 36466 2096451 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/sdb: 300.0 GB, 300000000000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 36472 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table Does anyone know the process of configuring RAID 1 on this Linux box? Do I need to partition the new drive? Thanks!

Do I need to partition the new drive? Holly cow Batman. Well, yes. You would need to format any media unless you wanted to use it raw. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo... is a software example. If you want a hardware solution it is much different. You make the raid in the hardware tools. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.
