If I am using a raid 10 setup on 4 Hard Drives, would I make a raid partition of 250MB on each of the 4 drives as in total this would be 500MB, or would I still make a 500MB raid partition, same for swap still make a 4992MB partition or halve it and spread it over the 4 drives ?
Below is how Disk Druid sets up the partitions itself when using only 1 drive.
VolGroup 1144192 lv_root 51200 / ext4 lv_home 229472 /home ext4 lv_swap 4992 swap
sda sda1 1 BIOS Boot sda2 500 /boot ext4 sda3 285686 VolGroup physical volume (LVM)
Thanks Daniel

Hello Reindl,
Thanks very much for replying to my question, what if I wanted swap to be a partition tho, would I create a 4GB partition on each of the 4 drives or make it 2GB partition on each of the 4 drives?
What about using LVM with raid 10?

no idea, since i wanted the setup as easy to maintain as possible in the case of a drive failure i decided only to split boot, system and data and all other stuff i do not want on the system disk is on /mnt/data with bind-mounts

also no idea, that is why i took 2x4 TB disks enough free space for the next 10 years of the 1.6 TB used are 500 GB local backups and the rest contains a bundle of virtual machines including a backup-vm for nearly all data i maintain

why do we witch now to top-posting? this destorys readability
i heard from some troubles with Fedora 16 and RAID currently no topic for me
tried installing it on the raid device
this can only be wrong
the bootloader can not act with any RAID device that is why /boot needs to be RAID1 or a single disk at boot time it is handeled like a single-disk and that is also why you need to install the boot-loader manually on the other drives to have a bootable machine if your first fails

Am confused as to what you mean, I'm just replying.
I've put /boot on a raid 1 partition.
When installing the boot loader it gives you the option of master boot record or the raid device so naturally tried both, unsure why it gives you the option for raid device if this is wrong.
How do you install it manually?

* look at the thread * you got an answer BELOW your post * your answer is on top
so who in the world should ever can read this thread? on most mailing lists you should NOT top-post it's ok if the whole thread is top-posting, but only then

what fedora version are you trying to install? F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said
i have no single expierience with F16 exepct that a RAID1/RAID10 setup in a virtual machine was upgraded without problems but it is still using GRUB and not GRUB2
How do you install it manually?
in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd" but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all

What about using LVM with raid 10?
also no idea, that is why i took 2x4 TB disks enough free space for the next 10 years of the 1.6 TB used are 500 GB local backups and the rest contains a bundle of virtual machines including a backup-vm for nearly all data i maintain
so no, i do not think about expand the array :-) /dev/md2 ext4 3,7T 1,6T 2,1T 44% /mnt/data

Ok thanks for that, am now confused as to where supposed to put my reply doesn't seem to make sense to put it at the bottom now.
what fedora version are you trying to install? F16 AFAIk has some troubles with RAID as said
Sorry I had thought I had put it in the subject or the body of my original mail.
I'm using fedora 16. So do you suggest I try fedora 15, will fedora 16 be fixed in the ISO? Or some hot fix patch later? If the latter I presume there would be no way to do raid setup at install?
in F15 "grub-install /dev/sdb; grub-install /dev/sdc; grub-install /dev/sdd" but until now i saw no information what fedora version you try to install this usually belongs in the initial-post because if i had guessed from the very beginning you are using F16 i had not replied at all
Thanks for that, but from what you said about not replying at all, that's not very helpful as how are they supposed to know there is a problem with fedora 16 and raid, I've googled this extensively and not found any mention of this!

* look at the thread * you got an answer BELOW your post * your answer is on top
so who in the world should ever can read this thread? on most mailing lists you should NOT top-post it's ok if the whole thread is top-posting, but only then

I've put /boot on a raid 1 partition.
When installing the boot loader it gives you the option of master boot
record or the raid device so naturally tried both, unsure why it gives
you the option for raid device if this is wrong.

i have no single expierience with F16 exepct that a RAID1/RAID10 setup in a virtual machine was upgraded without problems but it is still using GRUB and not GRUB2
How do you install it manually?

i heard from some troubles with Fedora 16 and RAID
currently no topic for me
tried installing it on the raid device
this can only be wrong
the bootloader can not act with any RAID device
that is why /boot needs to be RAID1 or a single disk
at boot time it is handeled like a single-disk and
that is also why you need to install the boot-loader
manually on the other drives to have a bootable
machine if your first fails

I'm having a hard time getting it to install the boot loader have
tried installing it on the raid device and also on the master boot
record but both fail.

Hello Reindl,
Thanks very much for replying to my question, what if I wanted swap to
be a partition tho, would I create a 4GB partition on each of the 4
drives or make it 2GB partition on each of the 4 drives?
no idea, since i wanted the setup as easy to maintain as possible
in the case of a drive failure i decided only to split boot, system
and data and all other stuff i do not want on the system disk
is on /mnt/data with bind-mounts
my machines have 16 GB RAM, swap is not really a topic there

usually bugs get fixed of the lifetime of a version look in the wikis for "upgrade with yum"
how are they supposed to know there is a problem with fedora 16 and raid I've googled this extensively and not found any mention of this!

BTW:
normally you have the option to include updates-repo while doing a fresh install (hopefully this was not messed in F16) and so you can avoid the most release-bugs by get the latest versions including kernel
but this helps only if anaconda is not broken in the setup you need i will know this ina short time - in the next two weeks a new (small) server will be delivered to me which should be F16 with 3XRAID1 (boot, system, data) and i would love that it works without spending some nights :-)

I see I will give that a try I suppose I will be clicking on the additional repos button to add this?
I got myself a small mini itx board does what I need it to do well, just need to get it up and running now, then can put my current one into retirement :-) as it struggles with anything above fedora 8 mouse is really jerky like stops and starts when moving it. It's a via c3 processor tho I think that's part of the problem.

What you are supposed to do for the most part is answer questions inline and just after the questions they answer. Also you should delete parts of the message you are quoting that aren't needed to continue the conversation.

It makes even less sense to keep top-posting.
Also, you might want to check your settings for quoted material. The current message is virtually incomprehensible not only only because of the top-posting but because you don't distinguish between quoted material and your own comments (such as using the "> " line prefix as above).
It's in your own interest to make these conversations readable.

Well I replied on an iPhone as I am now with this reply, it looks quoted on my phone so had no idea it wasn't to anyone else as no one else has mention it before.

The problem is that you're "just replying" using the default Gmail top-posting style. Many lists, especially those of a technical nature such as this one, frown on top-posting. In fact it's even stated explicitly in the list guidelines (see the URL at the end of every message on the list).
I also use Gmail, though for list traffic I'm almost always accessing it via Evolution. However even when using the Web interface I'm careful to avoid top-posting when replying to list messages.
