Re: "Upgrading" to hardware RAID
hi ya
yu're barking up the same tree i did a couple weeks ago
if you're using the 3-ware 7500-x series..
- connect the drives
- run their silly utility to make the raid device
( or play with it as a jbod first: sda ... sdh )
( and its software raid if you did not runthe utilties
- fdisk /dev/sda ( after configuring the disks )
- mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sda1
- mount /dev/sda1 /Raid.ware
