well this day came quicker than I expected...from the great barebone I bought from BigBruin, I just assembled my new server.
Tyan Thunder 2882-D MB, two Opteron 246's, 4x512MB DDR ECC, SATA Raid PCI with 4xSeagate 80GB in Raid 5 [from previous server], NetGear Wireless-B, 300GB Maxtor IDE, and 100GB Maxtor SATA OS drive. Zippy 720W PSU and Enermax Server Case.
Installed Ubuntu 6.06...install went perfect, found wireless card, raid card, 4xsata drives, etc. Did my basic setup and updated to latest and greatest. Time to tackle the task of getting my raid 5 array to be available in this new system.
Found that /dev/md0 and /dev/md1 already existed :-O
Did a quick "sudo mdadm –detail /dev/md0" and "sudo mdadm –detail /dev/md1 "to see md1 had all my raid5 info. I just needed to "sudo mount /dev/md1 /media/raid5" and it was there ready to go. Edited my fstab and it auto mounts like I had before.
Not sure how it would have came out with using the nvraid and moving to sliraid...can't be easier than linux raid.  |
