Guest ombre42 Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: Mandriva 2005 LE I have an old computer (Dell ca. 1998, PII-400 w/256 MB ram) and I want to build a RAID 5 (software RAID) file server. File transfer speed is not an issue! Planning on 4 120 G drives using MB's built-in ATA controller and no separate boot/system drive Can I use the graphical install to setup to: create /boot mount as first 10 MB of boot drive, same partition created on the next 3 disks (will mirror with script monthly along with MBR so I can boot if main drive dies) next partition, create 64 MB swap partition on all 4 drives (to be used at once) root file system as the rest of all drives in the RAID set. for first drive summed up as: device mount point size comments/dev/hda1 /boot 10M mirrored manually /dev/hda2 swap 64M on each drive used concurrently /dev/hda3 / rest of HD (used for RAID 5) hdb, hdc, hdd partition tables the same Can I do this easily with the drakx installer? Any tips or advice? Thank you in advance, Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
