PVE and Software Raid

[ChristianAC]

I have a 8 core AMD Tyan-server with 5 x 1TB Disks.

I would like to use the 5 x 1TB als one Raid5 with /boot on Raid1

How do I have to do that with PVE ???

I tried to install Debian / Etch with the software raid.

That works fine.

Then I tried to install the pve-kernel. This one does not recognize the
Raid5 where the root-fs is on.

Is Raid missing in the PVE-Kernel ??

Regards

Christian

You shouldn't be doing software raids. There is another thread on this forum that will point that out.

Do you have a separate /boot partition? lilo and grub can't boot a system from raid-5.

Did you generate a new initramfs for the new kernel (update-initramfs or mkinitrd)?

Again - we do not support software RAID.

You don't plan to give us the possibility to use mdadm flexibility in the future?

I wrote a _long_ post on how to use software raid (but it is not supported by proxmox guys). Do a search & I'm sure you'll find it.
