RAID-1 possible for multi-filesystem disk?
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: Darwin-dev@lists.apple.com I know this may not be the most appropriate place to ask this question but I am wondering if any Darwin experts here know the limits of the current RAID-1 support in Panther. In particular, I am interested in creating a RAID-1 mirror using two identical SATA drives in a dual G5. I understand that a single filesystem disk can be non-destructively converted over to a unpaired mirror using the command... diskutil enableRAID mirror disk0 Unfortunately this comamnd fails on a disk0 that contains two HFS+ partitions with an error message that the disk was not appropriate and an error number -9694. While I can understand that the current diskutil may have limitations on the enableRAID feature I am now wondering if MacOS X 10.3 supports RAID-1 of disks with multiple bootable partitions at all? Can anyone confirm that if I were to destructively repartition the drives and manually create the RAID-1 in DiskUtility (before reinstalling Panther) that I could in fact have both HFS+ partitions on a disk0 set up to mirror with RAID-1 on a second disk? I am a tad worried that I may have run into a nasty limitation of the OS's RAID support. Jack _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
