13 July 2010
- 08:2508:25, 13 July 2010 diff hist +193 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Rebuild initcpio or initramfs: add shell path to chroot command (needed for some bootable disks, like the "System Rescue CD").
- 08:2108:21, 13 July 2010 diff hist +114 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Partition the Disk: add bootable flag + remove old DOS compatibility
23 April 2009
- 22:4722:47, 23 April 2009 diff hist −7 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Make File Systems: have just retested this on another box, and the inode parameter is not required, so removing this.
- 11:5411:54, 23 April 2009 diff hist 0 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Install GRUB on the RAID Array: correct what example output will look like.

- 10:5510:55, 22 April 2009 diff hist +91 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →For Ubuntu or Debian: Rebuild initramfs
- 10:4810:48, 22 April 2009 diff hist +8 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Partition the Disk
- 10:4610:46, 22 April 2009 diff hist +1,381 Talk:Convert a single drive system to RAID →Updated docs: new section
- 09:0709:07, 22 April 2009 diff hist +379 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Update GRUB: Some further updates that make kernetl security updates a lot easier (at least on Debian & Ubuntu), Arch may be similar. These two fields are used when menu.lst is regenerated.
- 08:5608:56, 22 April 2009 diff hist +64 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Alter fstab
- 08:5508:55, 22 April 2009 diff hist +789 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Alter fstab: Add explanation about UUIDs, and how to find them.
- 08:4808:48, 22 April 2009 diff hist +12 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Make File Systems: add a label for the new swap partition
- 08:3808:38, 22 April 2009 diff hist −1 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Install GRUB on the RAID Array
- 08:3808:38, 22 April 2009 diff hist −10 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →For Ubuntu or Debian: Rebuild initramfs: don't need sudo here, it's assumed this whole thing is done as root.
- 08:3708:37, 22 April 2009 diff hist +657 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Rebuild initcpio: Expand. Apologies for the non-arch specific stuff, but I have tried to make it as brief as possible. If arch has a /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf then most of this step applies to it too
- 08:2208:22, 22 April 2009 diff hist +985 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Install GRUB on the RAID Array: this section assumes the first disk will be present, but what if the first disk fails & has been removed? Better to assume the first disk is dead & gone. Updating.
- 07:5707:57, 22 April 2009 diff hist +233 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Copy the Data: rsync command will probably be better, especially if people have to repeat this a few times because they are learning and make some mistakes (like I did!)
- 07:5107:51, 22 April 2009 diff hist −21 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Rebuild initcpio: the second "chroot /mnt/new-raid/" is not required (and will generate an error)
- 07:5107:51, 22 April 2009 diff hist +116 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Create the RAID Device: I had to reboot to get /dev/sdb2 to appear after partitioning the disk, add note to this effect.
- 07:4807:48, 22 April 2009 diff hist +19 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Make File Systems: To explain this change: There is a bug with recent versions of grub where if the inode size is too large, it won't boot, so we set size 128 inodes. Also label disk.
- 07:4507:45, 22 April 2009 diff hist +973 Convert a single drive system to RAID →Partition the Disk: Enumerate the exact steps that users will have to follow the fdisk the disk, with an explanation of what each command does.
- 07:3307:33, 22 April 2009 diff hist −2 m Convert a single drive system to RAID →Assumptions: reformat one link to be less ugly.
