Linux Mint 17 - Setting up RAID 1?
I'm a complete Linux newbie. I know there are some Linux guru's here that have provided me some introductory info in the past. I'm hoping to tap into that.
I have an old Dell Precision 390 with 2 installed 500GB drives with a fresh install of Linux Mint 17 - 64bit. I struggled with install as this computer has an on-board RAID controller that is not recognized by Linux Mint 17; I eventually disabled the controller's config for RAID 1 and set it up as two separate drives (no RAID).
I understand that it is possible to set up software RAID using mdadm but have not found succinct instructions as to how to do this. I get very frustrated reading the Linux Mint forums as those are obviously not meant for the new guys. I have searched for a while with no luck.
Can anybody point me to a succinct instruction set for doing this?
Thanks for the help.
