But you're just papering over cracks.
Yes, in sight of what you say after, I agree.
In any case, I just realized it's not only initramdisk that has to to understand and use software raid, but even before that there's grub (or lilo.. anybody out there still use lilo nodays?).. I suppose even legacy grub can boot from raid partition otherwise, CentOS4's grub would not even boot.
But you can freely mount read-only half of a raid1 set so grub doesn't have to understand RAID. You have to install grub on both disks, but that's it.
And this is a great idea.. I didn't know it was even possible to mount read-only half of a raid1.
Thank you again! Robi
I hope that will give me two drives partitioned in exactly the same way. This would be to me the greatest gain over my solution.
Yes, you should definitely be able to do that.
