[[C] ClowN]

im a total linux noObie :D

i finally found a cdrom taht would let me install mandrake, so now my question is how can i install mandrake 9 on my raid drives

it just sees them as 2 separate drievs...and i dont see any raid options :confused:

Try searching the forums for 'raid' as you will most likely find a few suggestions and links to documentation.

Also I seem to remember some time ago someone wrote a article on setting up Raid in the 'How I Did It' forum.

scsi or ide raid? Built on motherboard or separate raid controller?

is it a promise raid controller?

Unless Mandrake has documentation on their site (I would think they would) that explains how to install on IDE raid, try http://www.murty.net/ataraid/

I submitted a NHF the other day for doing software RAID 1 but I haven't seen it posted yet. It's not too difficult. www.tldp.org has all the HOWTO's for both hardware and software, SCSI and IDE RAID.

i know that suse has major issues with promise raid controllers and mandrake has some because i had to get a new mobo because of it but i havent had any problems with my new raid controller

rutes linux users guide has a little section on it i think thats where i read it
