This article
assumes you are using GRUB as your bootloader, and that you have an
existing, working, and bootable installation of Linux. This document
(should) contain every command required to convert a single drive over
to a fully mirrored RAID-1 system. During the process, you will have an
opportunity to change the filesystem type (perhaps from Ext2 to XFS or
ReiserFS); I will be migrating partitions from Ext2 to Ext3 and XFS.
My Linux distribution of choice is Debian, and this guide was written
with this distribution in mind. However, aside from the initial
software package installation and the compilation/installation of the
kernel, the rest of the guide should be applicable to all Linux
distributions.
