[NBLUG/talk] More questions about RAID

[Jack Smith]

I'll be using software RAID on Fedora 8, RAID 1

I have two identical hard drives.  One is partitioned for root, boot, and
home; with some left over, unused.  The other is still uninitialized.

Are RAID arrays set up on a partition-by-partition basis?  Would I have
three separate RAID devices, md0, md1, and md2?

Do I partition the second disk before I start?

Is mdadm somehow smart enough to mirror the sda data to sdb or is there a
chance that I'll mirror the blank disk on to the first?

Thanks,
