Customize Partitioning of Setup
« on: December 20, 2008, 12:19:45 PM »
Hello@ALL

my System : PC Dual P3 1000Mhz/1536MB/HDD1 40GB/HDD2-4 80GB

is there a possibility to force the Setup-CD to install Boot+Root-System at
HDD1 and /home to HDD2-4 with Raid5?

Thanks for help
Tom

If you disconnect HDD2-4 CD will install on HDD1. Later you can create a RAID5 with other disks. It's just a bunch of linux commands.
Search these forums and Google about how to do it.

Solved..
read http://wiki.contribs.org/AddExtraHardDisk

1.) Setup SME with option #sme nolvm noraid  (to setup root at first HDD-disk)
2.) Create raid5 with mdadm #mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/hdx....
3.) make ext3 at raid5 with #mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0
4.) create quota on md0-Raid5 #quotacheck -vugc /dev/md0
5.) mount new home (/mnt/home )and copy old home-files to new home at raid5
6.) modify fstab for raid5 as new home
7.) reboot
..ready

please correct me if i forgot something here..
