Hi Guys,thanks for taking the time to read this,hope i can get some help with my problem. I got a Linux File Server running OpenSuse. The server is used as a backend server for a Windows based Point Of Sale(POS) application, the server just stores all files and the computers that connect to the server are all windows XP SP2(i think). I need to implement a Mirror raid solution to the Linux OpenSuse server as some sort of fault tolerance, I dont have the faintest clue on how to implement a Mirror Raid solution on Linux(wish it was as easy as Windows). Im looking to run a software RAID instead of a Hardware RAID solution.I know that i will need to put in a second drive with the same capacity as my first drive. Cannot afford to format or move any of the POS files from the first drive as it contains critical data.Can you guys please help. Need a simple step by step guide on How to implement Mirror RAID on Linux OpenSuse. I am totally new to the Linux Family so hope its not going to be Rocket Science to configure RAID.
File Server Specs:
Intel i5 3.6Ghz
1 x 1TB WD HDD
4gig ram
OpenSuse OS
Also looking to learn bit more on Linux so which OS would you guys suggest Ubuntu or OpenSuse?
Thanks
