I have some questions regarding the proper way to set up a software RAID 1 mirror under Fedora on two identical SATA drives using the installation tools. In particular I am seeking to create a complete RAID 1 mirror so that if the main drive fails I can simply move it out and reboot under the mirror. What I am unclear on is how should I partition the two drives and how these partitions are related in the software RAID 1 mirror. My first inclination is to use DiskDruid in the installer to create identical sized partitions on both SATA drives (three partitions each... /boot, / and /swap). Of these I would only place the partitions for /boot and / in the RAID. My rational for this is that there is no point in mirroring the /swap partition. Assuming this approach is correct, I am still unclear on how the software RAID 1 mirror knows which partitions on each drive to map to each other? Does it just try to grossly map them by size and do they have to be of identical size on both drives of the RAID 1 or just bigger on ther mirror? Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
