Hello everybody!
The question is simple. I always use manual partitioning and software RAID with ubuntu servers (I used all versions from 7.04 to 10.04).
for instance i want to have 5 RAID-1 partitions (on 2 HDDs) of different sizes.
For this I have to first partition the first hard drive -create these 5 partitions and mark them as "physical volume for RAID"
then I have to repeat the same config for the second HDD
and then create the MD devices.
Is there a way to repeat the config of the first HDD on the second HDD in the partitioner (in one click so to say) - not involving going to the console and doing dd of MBD from sda to sdb ?
I understand that this feature is more or less "nice to have" and not crucial...
anyway ...
Thanks in advance.
Serge.
