Here's what I have:
* Edubuntu 7.04 with updates
* Intel motherboard
* Two SATA drives of the same size
* SWAP is not on RIAD
o Each drive has a swap partition
* Software RAID1
o /
o /home
GRUB questions:
1. How do I install GRUB on sdb?
2. How do I configure grub to boot even if one drive is missing or
not working?
1. Example: sda goes bad. Need to boot from sdb
SWAP questions:
I'm not sure how this works but I read somewhere that swap should
not be on a RAID partition. Some edititing of /etc/fstab needs to be
done. Can someone tell me what goes in there?
Here's what should happen:
1. If a drive fails the system should continue to run
2. If the system is rebooted the good drive should boot
This is assuming that everything is configured correctly.
