Add new hard drive and raid (mirror)

[jribbing13]

Okay I have a PIAF system in place and I have bought the exact same drive to do a raid with. How do I configure PIAF for raid on the new hard drive?

Thanks for any insight....

Back it up, and read this:

Usually you create the RAID mirror (or whatever) before you install. When you create a RAID array, all data on both drives is lost.

I understand that you can also create and manage RAID arrays using Webmin.

I have come across articles on creating a RAID without destroying the initial data but it's pretty ugly and I wouldn't want to try it on something important.

Like Linetux says, back it up, create the RAID and restore it to the new RAID array.
