post installation raid

Hi,
I've got a running machine with an hard partitioned in about 7 entries. Now
I've added an identical disk and I'm planning to make the two disks running
raid-1 (software). I've partitioned the second disk in the same way of the
first, setting all partitions as "fd", while on the other disk they are "83".
What should I do now to mirror the whole disk? I've tried the procedure
explained in the software raid howto but it does not work: when I change the
partition type from 83 to fd and try to remount the partition in order to
resize it, I got an error about the superblock. Any idea?

Thanks,
Luca

Re: post installation raid

Hi,
I've made this twice.
I followed this guide
(http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/Software-RAID.HOWT O.html#toc1),
but it didn't worked for you ...
http://slacksite.com/slackware/raid.html
you can try this even if you are not on slackware.
And a question: Did you install linux on the second disk first? Should be
that way.
The second disk partitions should be "Linux" not "fd" (the first disk
partitions are "fd").
Install on second. And then rebuild first disk. Then make second disk
partitions "fd".
Another question: did you support RAID in kernel (this shouldn't be as
modules).

Thats for now,
Greetings
