Guest Niko80 Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 (edited) Hello Everyone I added a hardware Raid 5 on one of the mandriva servers. Now I need to create the file system on it and create a partition. The system also contains another SCSI controller with hardware RAID 1 on it. Im not sure how to indentify which device (/dev/???) belongs to the RAID 5 so I don't screw up the existing RAID 1? Im working on a remote site and I MUST avoid the even the smallest mistake. If someone could give me a summary of the steps that would enable me to figure out which device is the new RAID 5 and how to create the file system on it, would be deeply appreciated. Thank you to All and Merry Xmas!!! NIKO Edited December 23, 2006 by Niko80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 If the existing raid1 is already in use for the main system, look at /etc/fstab to see what partitions are configured in there. Use: fdisk -l to list the partitions of all disks in the system. Then you can use what you found from /etc/fstab to not format when finding the other disks with the fdisk command.
