how to recover raid if my one of the harddisk gets fail?
When I originally setup my system, it seems my /boot wasn't in a raid configuration. I had a disk start to go bad and tried to replace it, unfortunately it was the one with the boot record. Decided to put in 2 fresh disks and this tutorial helped me ensure both my boot and root disks were raid 1 and LVM for root and my data. Nice job, thanks.
Nice tutorial , but how about the Bios boot partition?, When I created this partition I choosed in the Device Type : Raid and I had a warning that saids "BiOS Boot must be on a device of type Standar Partition", If this partition is created as a standar partition it means that partition will be created in a single disk? how about if that disk have an issue ... I will loose this boot partition :( ?
Thank you!, finally found what I was looking for to deal with my RAID install, mute, but informative.
Sorry but this only works on a Virtual Machine. If you follow the instructions on a real machine with 2 disks you get the errors "you have not created a bootloader stage 1 target device" and " you have not created a bootable partition" when you try and write the partition table. If this error is correct then what is the /boot partition for? I have tried several solutions but I do not think it is possible to build a software RAID array using the Anaconda installer on Centos 7 on real hardware.
Amazing tutorial.. Never found such a good tutorial. Some voice commentary would be helpful. Cheers!!
