Look into " md " it's been quite a while since I played with it, so I can't help you any more than that. The md stuff is in raidtools (apt-get install raidtools)

Hi,
Before I go ahead and attempt to make an array out of my drives, does the default knoppix kernel support SW/RAID ? I have 3.1 installed on a box with 2 SCSI disks that are identical. One is unused so, now i want to try SW/RAID.

Yes as a module, but if you wan't to boot from it, you'll have to compile it into the kernelOriginally Posted by scoozme
I find that mdadm is the best tool for administrating softwareraid - of which I know.
Well, you can create an initrd which loads the necessary MD RAID modules on startup. This is what I did in order to get a system up to the point where I could build a fresh kernel with MD support built in (after copying the relevant modules into the initrd's /modules/)...
Code:#!/static/sh insmod /modules/jbd.o insmod /modules/ext3.o insmod /modules/md.o insmod /modules/xor.o insmod /modules/raid1.o insmod /modules/raid5.o /sbin/mdadm -Es >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf /sbin/mdadm -As mount -t proc proc /proc echo 256 > /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev umount /proc mount -t ext3 /dev/md4 /mnt /static/pivot_root /mnt /mnt/initrd
