[gentoo-user] Should I give up gentoo ?

[Allan Spagnol Comar]

Hi list, I had ask for some help with instaling nvraid with dmraid on
a gentoo system yesterday and no one could or wanted to help me. Is
there any kind soul that can help me solve the problem, or should I
change to a distribution that this work ..... I love gentoo and I am
using it for 2 and a half years now, never had a problem that the list
could no help. I was wondering if none of the wise guys expirience the
same problem.

Thanks, Allan

Hi,
The only way to use RAID in your case (that i know of) is to have a
separate /boot partition (could also be as RAID1).
Swap is better outside RAID (but on both disks as failsafe measure).
IIRC in your case the RAID is already installed, you could get a third
small disk (or resize existing RAID,if possible at all - no experience).
"nvraid" is a software raid which depends on BIOS settings and
(frequently) a Win-driver to operate.
Read the articles on www.gentoo-wiki.com (Gentoo with NVRAID using
dmraid). Using RAID0 with nv2 and separate /boot partition.
As i have null RAID experience (just theory) someone else, here.

gentoo is vast. I've been at it for nearly two years
and I still only grok a tiny fraction of it. Get
ubuntu, breezy is the version I'm familiar with, and
do a generic install. Let it choose kernel config,
module config, fstab etc. Then you can compare and
contrast and your linux enlightenment will surely grow
:)
