How to create a RAID1 linux partition from existing FAT32 partitions Windows partition
Dear debian-users,
I have installed Debian successfully from the debian-installer RC2 on
a raid1 system where WinXp and a FAT32 partition were priviously
installed also in RAID1.
I would like to use the FAT32 partition to exchange files between
WinXp and Debian.
In can mount one of the two (because of raid) fat32 partition but I
was wondering if defining those two fat3é partition as a raid1
partition under Debian doesn't make more sence.
My question: can I do it without loding data already on the FAT32 and
how can I do it ?
Some dumps to understand my system:
