[olug] 1U Rack RAID?

[Adam Haeder]

Yep, we got it working, thanks to Brian. It was a dumb mistake on my part:
all the raid stuff was working, but when I booted it with the new /etc/fstab
that references the mounts on /dev/mdX, I had neglected to create some of
the mountpoints. So the devices where there, but I was trying to mount them
in a non-existent place.
Made the dirs, rebooted, modified my /etc/raidtab file to change the disks
from "failed-disk" to "raid-disk", ran the raidhotadd command on each, and I
was off and running.

Brian pointed out that next time I might want to keep /boot and maybe / on a
non-raid partition and just mirror it manually on both drives to make
recovery in the event of a failure easier and quicker.

I'm just wondering if the guys that stayed at the meeting last night got
the 1U server from Penguin Computing booting the RAID array correctly.
How'd you guys do?

I had to leave to go study otherwise I would have liked to stick around,
although I'd probably been of not much use.  If you did get it working
does the person that fixed it, win it? :)
