Hello all,
I have 2 x 250GB sata disks (sda and sdb).
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

What I want to do:
- have on each disk 2 partitions (4gb for swap and the 200gb+ the rest for
/)
- raid 1 between them
This is what I wanted in the beginning, but...I didn't paid attention...
What can I do to rebuild it to my needs (without loosing data or reformatting)?
ouch.
I'd boot a rescue CD, drop the mirrors, repartition and mkfs on sdb1, dump both file systems to it, drop both metadisks, repartition sda1 as 2 x raid1 w/o any active mirrors, mkfs on them, restore the dumps to these new md0, md1, then repartition sdb again as the two mirrors and join them to md0, md1
but thats just me. others might do it differently.
