I don't believe Linux supports software mirroring yet. In which case, you'll need to do it at the hardware level. If your RAID system supports RAID 1, turn it on.

[Alexander Chuzhoy]

Linux has support for software mirror.
install raidtools rpm (it comes on installation cd).
Then copy /usr/share/doc/raidtools-(version)/raid1.conf.sample
to
/etc/raidtab
after editing /etc/raidtab per your needs.
run
mkraid /dev/md1
and then
mkfs /dev/md0
to create file system on this raid....

[Steven E. Protter]

Linux does support software raid if it can see the drives(that is the $64K question).

In fresh install this is accomplisehd thus:
Click manual configuration with disk druid.

Set up software raid partitions on the two FC10 drives presented.
Then click the raid button and pick a mount point, click the default raid0 to raid 1, make sure the filesystem is ext3

You're done.

There already is a good procedure for doing it on already running systems, prior post.

Assume you have a raid setup and you want to split one of the drives.. md4.
I have 4 raid drives and want to split one of the large ones into a few more..
1) do I use fdisk to partition both disks or just one disk and the raid system does the rest?
2) mkraid will distroy all data on the raid disks. Will mkraid only mess with the /dev/md6
device?? even tho all the other drives are in
/etc/raidtab?? mkraid /dev/md6
