Shurdix’ init script supports Software RAID, but there is no automated way to set it up. This page documents the process. I will asumme you are building a level 1 RAID (/dev/md0) with 2 disks (/dev/hda and /dev/hdc), but the principle is general.

Use FDISK to partition /dev/hda and /dev/hdc exactly the same way. My tip is to login on 2 consoles, do a fdisk -l /dev/hda on one and fdisk -l /dev/hdc on the other. By switching the consoles you can spot differences very easily. Don’t forget to set the partition type to fd, usually called linux RAID autodetect

modprobe raid1
mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1

mkreiserfs /dev/md0

answer “Y”

echo -e "CONFIG=/dev/md0\nCONFIGFS=reiserfs"  > /etc/sysconfig/config
service conf save
service setup start

You need internet access for the last step. GRUB will probably complain, ignore it.

grub
root (hd0,0)
setup (hd0)
root (hd0,0) /dev/hdc
setup (hd0)
quit

Also, check /mnt/conf/boot/grub/menu.lst for missing device references.

Wait for the array to finish syncing and reboot.
