I have a testing box that didn’t have a hardware raid card in it so I decided to see if I could get this going for grins. I’m fairly certain this whole setup would break at the least desirable moment and I certainly won’t be using this for any production boxes, but it was an interesting diversion into the world of software raid which I’d never used before. The basic order I followed is:<\/p>\n
Install Proxmox as usual onto 1 drive(\/dev\/sda)
\naptitude install mdadm initramfs-tools<\/p>\n
Edit the modules list for initramfs-tools to force add the raid1 module<\/p>\n
mkinitramfs -o \/boot\/test -r \/dev\/mapper\/pve-root
\nadd a grub list entry to point to my new initrd image<\/p>\n
fdisk the 2nd disk to look exactly like the first disk
\nmdadm –create \/dev\/md0 –level=1 –raid-devices=2 missing \/dev\/sdb1
\nmdadm –create \/dev\/md1 –level=1 –raid-devices=2 missing \/dev\/sdb2
\nmdadm –detail –scan >> \/etc\/mdadm\/mdadm.conf<\/p>\n
pvcreate \/dev\/md1
\nvgextend pve \/dev\/md1
\npvmove \/dev\/sda2 \/dev\/md1
\nvgreduce pve \/dev\/sda2<\/p>\n
mdadm –add \/dev\/md1 \/dev\/sda2
\nwatch -n 1 “cat \/proc\/mdstat”<\/p>\n
mkfs.ext3 \/dev\/md0
\nmkdir \/mnt\/md0
\nmount \/dev\/md0 \/mnt\/md0
\ncp -ax \/boot \/mnt\/md0<\/p>\n
edit fstab to map the \/boot to \/dev\/md0<\/p>\n
sfdisk –change-id \/dev\/sda1 fd
\nmdadm –add \/dev\/md0 \/dev\/sda1<\/p>\n
use grub to install bootloader onto the 2nd hard drive <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
