ROZPRACOVÁNO

Power HowTo:
This covers installing a second drive after a system is already up and running single drive.
Make sure you backup all your data... you have been pre warned.

  • Primary Disc, lets get its info and record it. I used cfdisk.
  • NOTE: Do not change anything.. just TAB to QUIT.
  • cfdisk /dev/<yourolddevice>
disc1       Boot, NC    Primary   Linux ext2                          41.13 
disc2                   Primary   Linux swap / Solaris               271.44
disc3                   Primary   Linux ext3                       82030.72
  • Secondary Disc, Setup using cfdisk.
  • cfdisk /dev/<yournewdevice>
disc1       Boot        Primary   Linux raid autodetect               41.13 
disc2                   Primary   Linux raid autodetect              271.44
disc3                   Primary   Linux raid autodetect            82030.72
Hint --> Linux raid autodetect is type: FD
  • create md device nodes
mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0
mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1
mknod /dev/md2 b 9 2
mknod /dev/md3 b 9 3
...
  • create raid devices
[root@svn ~]# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/<yournewdevice-partitionA>
mdadm: array /dev/md0 started.
[root@svn ~]# mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level 1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/<yournewdevice-partitionB>
mdadm: array /dev/md1 started.
[root@svn ~]# mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level 1 --raid-devices=2 missing /dev/<yournewdevice-partitionC>
mdadm: array /dev/md2 started.
...
You may be asked: 'Continue creating array? y' if the disk was already formated.
[root@svn ~]#
  • Check /proc/mdstat
  • All devices are in tact however they are degraded..
[root@svn ~]# cat /proc/mdstat

  • Mount and Copy Data.
# mount new raid /
[root@svn ~]# mount /dev/md<where you assigned-/-number> /mnt/
# mount new raid /boot
[root@svn ~]# mkdir /mnt/boot
[root@svn ~]# mount /dev/md<where you assigned-/boot-number> /mnt/boot/
# add dirs and mount all other partitions
You need to do this for every partition you had on old disk, to create the new raid device exactly the same.
...
# copy / to new /raid/
[root@svn ~]# cd /mnt
[root@svn mnt]# tar -C / -clspf - . | tar -xlspvf - 
# copy /boot to new /raid/boot
cd /mnt/boot
[root@svn boot]# tar -C /boot -clspf - . | tar -xlspvf -
# copy other partitions
You need to do this for every partition you had on old disk, to create the new raid device exactly the same.

  • NOTE: CRUCIAL STEP
  • edit /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst
  • Note: Make it look like so:
  • add "fallback 1" to menu.lst

  • chroot into new raid system and rebuild initrd

  • Install grub on new raid disk, change the numbers according to your setup.

  • reboot into new raid disk and not! into old disk, you may need to change bios settings.
/sbin/reboot
  • cross fingers ;)
  • If system booted fine, add the missing md devices to RAID.

  • Check mdstat
  • Verify that your RAID is being built.

  • finish initrd
edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
you can now place 'raid' hook behind autodetect and rebuild initrd
mkinitpcio -g /boot/kernel26.img
  • Change your bios to normal boot order again.
  • You are done, enjoy your new RAID setup :)
