How Would I go about (in a snippet) creating a recipe/snippet that creates
two raid/pv/lv off of two disks? Basically I want it to look like this:
/dev/sda (800gb)
---200GB Raid-1/PV-root/LV-root =/dev/md0
---600GB Raid-1/PV-wite/LV-write =/dev/md1
/dev/sdb (800GB)
---200GB Raid/PV-root/LV-Root/Raid 1 =/dev/mdo
---600GB Raid-1/PV-write/LV-write =/dev/md1
FYi, we're using software raid, but I'm only wanting to utilize the first
two disks for the raid volumes, and have two raid "partitions" created,
along with 2 PV's and 2 LV's, so we have a /dev/md0 bootable drive that's
200GB and a "write" drive that's 600GB and /dev/md1.
I have no problem doing this manually through the installer, just wondering
how to automate it? Whenever I automate it, it allocates all 800GB on each
disk for RAID 1, and just created a /dev/md0.
Here's my current snippet: (which I know is wrong)
