Hi,
Hi,
I have a server with 2 disks. Installed centos 5.9 with raid1. I created /dev/md0 to hold "/" and /dev/md1 for swap and nothing else. Grub is installed on /dev/md0. After the successful installation, the server does not boot. I don't see the boot loader . I see a blank cursor blinking.
What have I done wrong?
have you paid attention on 'Section Two' here?
Does the same warning about it not being recommended to use the software RAID also apply to CentOS 6?
Thanks, Dave
Dave, I've been using software raid with every type of RedHat distro RH/CentOS/Fedora for over 10 years without any serious difficulties. I don't quite understand the logic in all these negative statements about software raid on that wiki page. The worst I get into is I have to boot from a bootdisk if the MBR gets corrupted for any reason. No big deal. Just rerun grub.
