I have a problem understanding the raid option. I am installing fedora core 4. I can't get passed the disk partitioning part.
When I partition the drive for server. I setup my /, /usr, /var, /temp, /home, /swap. when I click on the raid button. It wants to
create a raid partition. What I want to do is clone the drive to the second drive. I have 2 250 g sata 2 . The options in partitioning
is ext2, ext3, swap, raid option. What is the right way to setup a the partitions and use raid to clone the drive.
The error I get when I try to clone the drive is, The source drive selected has partitions on it which are not of type software raid.
These partitions will have to be removed before this drive can be cloned.
Set up your RAID1 devices first, by creating one or more RAID partitions
on each drive. Then make a RAID1 device from the RAID partitions. Then
create your /, /usr etc. filesystems on the RAID devices. The installer
then writes simultaneously to both drives rather than writing to one and
then cloning it.
