Hi Tim, I think you suffer from a fear of "fisk" :-) Yes you
do need to be careful. Look at it this way:
No, I don't. Whatever "fisk" means... ;-)
If your going to make a software raid-1 on Linux you must use a
root Terminal. A root Terminal is capable of deleting your entire
Linux! :-(
This paper is not for a person who has no knowledge of root and
what it can do. You need to know the basics. I will add a place where
they must show this basic knowledge or not try to do raid-1.
Now you're going off on a tangent. The only disclaimer needed, as
already mentioned by us, is to point out changing drive structures is
potentially destructive. Make backups before altering a pre-existing
system.
What I see you doing, and everything you've said leads to this
conclusion: You're making the classic mistake of over-simplifying
something to the point that you completely ignore necessary aspects.
fisk=fdisk and I am at a point where I'm not sure what I am writing is
not going to work with any but LWN mounted f7. I will learn soon what is
going on. If this IS the case it must all be re-written. And it might
not be worth the effort.
