Unite rootfs with another disk in GoFlex Net

Postby jheronimus » Sat Jan 26, 2013 12:16 pm

Hi, all.

I have freshly installed ArchLinux on my GoFlex Net. I installed it on one of the SATA disks and I want to unite it with the other one. I want to have a single logical partition out of two disks. How do I do that?

I believe you are looking for a thing called RAID.

You'll need to keep /boot on it's own partition as I doubt that the uboot can handle raid/lvm. You'll probably also have to make your own initrd to handle setting up the / raid/lvm partition.

What should I do to shrink rootfs, then?
