Hello
They sent off a linux machine (installed with some software) to a customer.
Normally, when we install Linux (Cent OS 4.5) we do software Raid Level
1 during the
installation (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb). This machine went out without
them doing it.
The machine that went out should already a /dev/sda and /dev/sdb
(anyway to verify, if
/dev/sdb is not mounted?) and we need to perform Raid 1 on it, but we
can't reinstall
Linux on it because it will overwrite evrything that is there.
Is there anyway to Raid a machine that already has linux installed on it
without reinstalling
Linux over it?
Thanks
Yes, but to call it dangerous is an understatement.
