Good luck with the dasd migration Bob,
I have used RAID with Centos but I used an IBM ServeRaid controller that was supported by
Centos so the effort required no work on my part other than assembling the necessary parts
and updating the controller firmware.
Cheers, John

A2RTR will be down tomorrow (Monday) for a couple of hours sometime between 9AM PDT and
3PM. It?s not my doing ? PG&E is replacing a transformer and the power will be off.
I have battery backup for some of my equipment, but not A2RTR. Sorry.
It?s also going to have to go down sometime again, maybe next weekend, so I can replace
a disk drive that?s failing. I bought two identical drives and plan to set up a RAID 1
array this time. If anybody has set up a software RAID on Ubuntu, using the md driver and
mdadm, for the system drive and you have advice, let me know. Espcially if you managed to
make both of the drives bootable.
