...#39;m doing this not only because this machine has no raid controller - I could go out and buy one - but also because I hope software raid will provide easier monitoring. This is a newly installed, updated Centos6.4 standard machine. So far I arrived at part1 step 4: -----> mdadm --add /dev/md_d0 /dev/sdb and this is on 16.6 % Looking at part 2 , step 2 : ------------> Edit /etc/fstab, you must change all mounts from using LABEL= to explicit device names, like /dev/md_d0p1, /dev/md_d0p2, ... I'm wondering where I can find the names md_d0p1, p2 and so on. Can anyone help me on...

The GTK installer doesn't provide a way to create such an mdp device and the integrated partitioning tool does not see for example md_d0 when I create it manually from the console. Another way to get CentOS on such a configuration would be to do everything manually, thus installing the base system by creating the necessary disk allocations and then rpm -i all the required packages to get it to boot. (I've done this before, it...
