I have some suggested tweaks and changes to
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1
1. The user should be instructed to start rescue mode with networking in
order to be able to retrieve the patch for mkinitrd.
2. The command to create /etc/mdadm.conf will result in an extra line
"spares=1" while the array is still syncing. Adding " | head -1 " to
the command to create it fixes the problem.
3. Some additional discussion on how to handle multiple partitions
should be added. There is an implicit assumption that only "/" is used.
4. It is not necessary to change "LABEL=..." to "/dev/md_d0..." in
/etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf.
5. There is no indication of the page author - Lev Shamardin - nor
statement about page maintenance preferences.
If the page author, Lev Shamardin, does not object I would be glad to
make the changes, or to further discuss them.
