    Dear friends,

        I have recently setup a SuSE 7.2 box with 3 hard disks:

        1) 6GB With SuSE 7.2 (Disk0)
        2) 200 GB Empty Disk (Disk1)
        3) 200 GB Empty Disk (Disk2)

    I have installed SuSE of Disk0.
    Have created my raidtab file in /etc/raidtab with all the necessary information to create
    the raid array. Raidtab looks like this:

        
    raiddev /dev/md0
            raid-level 1
            nr-raid-disks 2
            nr-spare-disks 0
            chunk-size 4
            persistent-superblock 1
            device /dev/hdb
            raid-disk 0
            device /dev/hdc
            raid-disk 1

    Have created /dev/md0 with Raid 1 and the sync has finished after about 21 hours.
    I have formated md0 with the Normal option that Yast gave me and have directed
    yast to mount this array on /data which I have created.

    When i reboot the machine, it stops and tells me to enter the system with
    root password, to run fsck manually and fix any partition problems etc...
    (I am not at the screen right now).

    Can Someone tell me a general how-to in order to create this??
    I will use this array with Samba and filesharing will be initiated once
    it is setup properly!!

    My guide so far has been:
    http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html

    Can you tell me of something else perhaps that I am missing??

    Thank you.
    Chris
