UNIX02/Install Knoppix On A Software RAID

Classnotes | UNIX02 | RecentChanges | Preferences

Showing revision 2
Configure and setup a simple software RAID (level 1) using two partitions under Knoppix. Then install Knoppix on this software RAID.

Some notes to be aware of:

  • The version of Knoppix we use in this classroom requires approximately 2GB of free-space to install.
  • Knoppix's knx-hdinstall script will not install to a RAID device. However, all that knx-hdinstall does is cp -dRvp everything (excluding /proc) from /KNOPPIX.
  • Once you have installed, you will need to edit and setup /etc/fstab, /etc/raidtab, and /etc/lilo.conf accordingly.
  • When you are done, do not reboot! The Linux kernel under Knoppix does not have software RAID compiled in the kernel. (See next section).
