Installing Amahi with RAID 1 in 2HDD setup. See this other page for [[RAID5]].
Also see another users [[#3HDD]] RAID 1 setup.
So, to set the scene. I'm pretty much totally new to Linux and I'm just an enthusiastic amateur when it comes to computers in general.

I hope this helps, but please feel free to correct anything I've got wrong. I've really been feeling my way here, so I can't guarantee that any of the above will work or work seamlessly, but I hope it will.

I'm another user who's also using RAID 1and wanted to give back a bit to the community, so I thought I'd describe my setup.
I have 3 HDDs:
sda is a 40GB
sdb and sdc are 1.5 TB each
I reinstalled everything to create the RAID 1 array and to update my system to Fedora 12 (so make a backup of everything first!). With all three drives installed, during the partitioning stage of the Fedora install I did the following (see steps 11-19 above for more details):
sda - formatted with a / partition and swap
sdb - click on RAID, create a software RAID partition, made it the maximum size of the disk
sdc - same as for sdb
I then created a single RAID 1 volume using sdb and sdc and mounted it as /var/hda/files
With this done, you proceed with the rest of the Fedora/Amahi instalation as per the Amahi documentation.
With this setup, all my personal files and media will be stored on my RAID 1 array, while the Fedora and Amahi filesystems and programs will be on sda primary drive. This allows you to update Fedora and/or Amahi with much less risk to your personal files.
Please add any other comments/corrections/suggestions as you see fit, and thanks to the first user who started this section and inspired to me ccontribute as well.
