Figure 4.6. Making a RAID Device and Assigning a Mount Point
4. Select a mount point.
5. Choose the file system type for the partition. At this point you can either configure a dynamic LVM
file system or a traditional static ext2/ext3 file system. For more information on configuring LVM
on a RAID device, select physical volume (LVM). If LVM is not required, continue on with the
following instructions.
6. Select a device name such as md0 for the RAID device.
7. Choose your RAID level. You can choose from RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5.
Note
If you are making a RAID partition of /boot/, you must choose RAID level 1, and it
must use one of the first two drives (IDE first, SCSI second). If you are not creating a
seperate RAID partition of /boot/, and you are making a RAID partition for the root
file system (/), it must be RAID level 1 and must use one of the first two drives (IDE
first, SCSI second).
