[vox-tech] Software IDE Root RAID on Linux

[Brian Lavender]

I have a root raid 1 box that has been running for two years.

I boot off of a floppy. Wierd thing is that it can't seem to
mount the swap partitions, so I have no swap. I think maybe
it is just a problem with the kernel compile. Check the
Software RAID howto

http://people.redhat.com/mingo/raidtools/

Get the file:

raidtools-20010914.tar.gz

The doc is inside there. It's easy.
