[NTLUG:Discuss] hard drive madness

[George Lass]

That should do it.....
I am guessing that fstab and lilo.conf both are using the device name (/dev/sdX) rather than the partition label (LABEL=) method of identifying your partitions.

I've never tried it, but you can (or should be able to) set things up by label rather than device name.  I'm sure someone out there can help out, but basically your fstab entries look like this:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1

and your lilo.conf would have this in it:

append="root=LABEL=/"

rather than specifying 

root=/dev/sdX

Again, I'm sure someone else might know about this better than I do, but if you can get this working with just your raid drive in the system, and you don't have any duplicate drive labels on your new drive, you *may* not have to re-run lilo....


Good Luck

George

Thats all I should have to edit right? Just lilo.conf and fstab?
