Several people have asked me how I configured Raid 1. Here are my scripts. These work for me. They may not work for you.

I am running unslung V4.0 All these diversion scripts sit in /unslung along with md.o, raid1.o mdadm, and mdadm.conf.

 
# We edit rc to prevent premature mounting of the drive which may unsync the raid.
# cat rc
## Simple beta script to verify csr

mount -t usbdevfs usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb

1. cat rc.sysinit

The original rc.sysinit is called after loading the drivers and starting the raid arrays. I am raiding swap, /share/hdd/conf, and /share/hdd/data. Getting the raid built is a bit tricky. Be sure to read the LDP article.

rc.1 must provide equivalents for rc.bootbin.
These are ifup and swapon.
We don't need to ifconfig, necause switchbox already started ot in 4.x.
We don't need swapon, because we already started swap.
We disable ( comment out ) stuff that will cause problems.
