CentOS - Oct 2013 - Partitionable Raid

Hi,

After reading the tutorial at
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Install_On_Partitionable_RAID1 I have the
following question:

What should I put instead of
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

and

        root (hd0,0)

on /etc/grub.conf? Should I leave those lines untouched? If so, how would
grub know where to boot from if /dev/sda fails?

Or I would need to swap the drives in order to boot properly and then put a
new one as /dev/sdb and then add it to the array?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Best regards,

Eugenio Pacheco

If sda fails outright, sdb will BECOME sda. This is usually the case
when a "drive fails".

If sda is skillfully overwritten in specific places with the intention
of producing a curcumstance in which Linux kernel raid will fail, then
Linux kernel raid will fail.

Please steer away from the above if possible.   I did this around
June/2013 time frame and posted my woes in this mailing list.

Please search the archives and go through the entire thread.
