Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) grml2hd and software raid (level 1)I just added support for installing grml on software RAID level 1 with grml2hd. As we already have support for initrds it wasn't such a big deal. [Disclaimer: it's not a frontend for mdadm, you have to use mdadm manually on your own. If you want to use software RAID you should know how to handle it anyway.] So if you want to use RAID1 with '/' on software-raid run mdadm and install grml afterwards on the new created device using the environment variable SWRAID which passes the provided option to the raid-extra-boot-option in lilo.conf: # mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=raid1 \ That's it. :-) Tuesday, December 6. 2005

Comments (0) Trackbacks (0) status report... grml 0.5-3A lot of development has taken place in the last few weeks and days. We now have a full featured 2.6.14-grml kernel with udev replacing hotplug-light (thanks, Tobias!). Using bt-hid it's possible to connect a bluetooth mouse, some more bluetooth scripts are work in progress... grml2hd supports initrd (and therefor installation on scsi and usb-devices). Improved synaptics touchpad support, ip addresses of network interfaces are displayed in GNU screen (thanks, Gebi!) and lots of other nice stuff. :-) Now we are waiting for kernel 2.6.15, in the meanwhile we are continuing work on the big quality check. We plan to release grml 0.6 and grml-small 0.2 at beginning of 2006. |
