Linux Server Rebuild - Keeping the existing RAID0 Data
by marty1980 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#547DR)
Greetings,
Im not the best on Linux so i was hopeful of some assistance/help with a rebuild.
My Linux server boot drive (USB) failed after a few years of use and i need to rebuild the system. The system is a HP Microserver and i have RAID0 setup with 2 x 3TB WD Drives as storage. The RAID is software RAID done on the HP software.
I am ready to rebuild the server but i want to preserve the existing RAID configuration and data.
On the installation "Storgage Configuration" page im unsure how to proceed here incase i make an error and wipe my RAID config and data completely.
Do i create an LVM? DO i add a GPT Partition? Is there something different i need to do? * screenshot attached *
Any help very greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Martin
