Hi all,

I'm trying to set up a Debian Woody server with it's root partition on a
RAID1 volume but I can't seem to get it working.  I want to use ResierFS
but when I boot the partitions get mounted ro instead of rw.  I can't
check error messages because /var gets mounted ro as well.

I have three Seagate 36G 10K rpm scsi disks (sd[abc])  I have four md
partitions (md[0123]) with root on md0, swap on md1, var on md2, home on
md3.  I installed to sdc, set up the RAIDs and copied files over, made
the changes to fstab, lilo.conf, and reran lilo.  I'm using a custom
2.4.25 kernel compiled from the unstable kernel-source-2.4.25 deb.  I
have ReiserFS, ext2/3, md, and all that fun stuff compiled in so I don't
have to mess with an initrd image.

I've set up root on RAID1 with ext3 no probs, but would really like to
use ReiserFS.  Ive used ReiserFS on non-RAID parts no prob, but can't
seem to get it to play nicely with RAID.

I really need to get this server up today so may have to go with ext3 if
I can't get ResierFS working but they have a _lot_ of small files to
think that ReiserFS would be more efficient.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?  Anyone done this before?

Thanks =)
