This is what you need for any of the RAID levels:
- A kernel. Preferably a kernel from the 2.4 series. Alternatively a 2.0 or 2.2 kernel with the RAID patches applied.
- The RAID tools.
- Patience, Pizza, and your favorite caffeinated beverage.
All of this is included as standard in most GNU/Linux distributions today.
From The Software-RAID HOWTO, (emphasis added).
I guess I need to file a bug in Launchpad. My Ubuntu 7.04 did not come with a pizza and my favorite [sic] caffeinated beverage, although this seems to be standard today. It is not even included in Debian unstable. If I wanted a pizza, I’d have to rent one, I guess.
Shameless plug: If this post was useful to you, please consider buying yourself something from one of my Amazon stores: US store, UK store, FR store, DE store, CA store. If you're not into Amazon, why not donate something to GNOME, Mozilla or Wikipedia? Thank you!
