Re: raid

That is the way it was recommended by the software to have a whole disk partition. I am okay with the data. I have it someplace else too. So how should I have my partitions set up? Get rid of the overlapping partition....I am getting that.......so I should just have a Linux and swap partition.... So what partition should I be looking at raiding..... the Linux partition? What should I have put in my raidtab where the question marks are? I had a 3 for the whole disk. I am assuming that I should just do the Linux partition.. Should my first device be my hard drive at 0? I have the OS residing on disk 0.....Thanks in advance. 

raiddev /dev/md0
       raid-level      5
       nr-raid-disks   3
       nr-spare-disks  0
       persistent-superblock 1
       parity-algorithm        left-symmetric
       chunk-size      32
       device          /dev/sda??????
       raid-disk       0
       device          /dev/sdb1
       raid-disk       1
       device          /dev/sdc1
       raid-disk       2

Your data is gone.
I don't know why you have a partition that overlaps your others, but you have just erased all of your data.
Only use empty partitions for raid. Then you create a filesystem on that and then put data in the partition.
Sorry, I hope you didn't have anything important on that drive, and that you had backups.

That is what I get for getting in a hurry......

Here is how it is when I hit "p" after putting in the disk and entering the partition a hard drive command. They are in columns so you may have to maximize the window.
Device flag Start End Block Id System /dev/sad 0 17000 1708000 83 Linux /dev/sad 17000 17272 278528 82 Linux Swap /dev/sad 0 17272 17686528 5 Whole disk
Those are how my partitions are set. You can tell me if they are wrong, but that is how I have them I probably should put my swap at the beginning of the drive. Anything else you can throw at me would be helpful.

sda3 is the partition for the whole drive where my root, and Linux partition reside. I have three: Linux, root, and whole, which encompasses the other two. Could that have been my problem? Should I have just chosen root or native instead of whole. Should I partition the other disk to be exact replicas of the first one? 


I don't understand.

where is / mounted?
where is "Linux" mounted?
where is "whole" mounted?
