OK sorry to hammer the list but one more question - having almost got the drives mirrored and happy - since I have created a custom initrd that has the raid1 drivers in it, do I now have to tell yum to ignore kernel updates? Will the stock kernel render me unbootable?
Is this about software RAID? You don't need to change the initrd in any way for this.
ok.... (deep breathing relaxation exercise in order after staying up till 4AM trying different permutations)... All the howtos/posts I found on it seemed to this running mkinitrd to add raid1 was needed. So you don't run it at all after creating the md arrays?
maybe that is why the system won't boot anymore after I synced the root partition? ;)
I hope...
