Hi!
- Does anyone have everything on software-raid?
- Or just "/" & ...
- Or /boot
I could really use some general guidance... had a hard time the last time I tried & finally gave up, because grub1 wouldn't do it and the grub2 docs I found were even worse than grub1.
Different versions of the arch kernel I had so far either
a) panicked when didn't define the / md device in the kernel line (like: " md=0,/dev/sda,/dev/sdv "),
b) panicked when I to define them (had to remove that part from menu.lst again)
c) did strange stuff I didn't really understand but eventually get to work again
So - anyone else has it running, knows how or can provide examples? I just can't find useful information on that stuff, so links to basic information is welcome too.
Thanks!

The last weekend, after hours of pain..., I configured my system with everyting inside LVM (LogicalVolume striped along 4 PhysicalVolumes + ext4) tanks to Grub2. I updated the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2
I think that to create a software raid you have to change, on grub2, the "insmod lvm" with "insmod raid" and the "set root", "root" as suggested in http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID
"For RAID arrays, the same name is used as the Linux devicename. E.g. if the array is /dev/md2 under Linux, its GRUB name is (md2). The number is taken from the superblock. If it happens that there are two different arrays with the same number in their superblocks the first free number is used."
Maybe:
set timeout=20
set default=0
menuentry "Linux on Raid" {
insmod raid
set root=(RaidName)
linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/RaidName
initrd /kernel26.img
}
