[plug] Good RAID Howto

[Kai Jones]

Hi guys and girls,

I know the principle of RAID and how it works but I've never had to 
configure it before.

My current situation is I have an HP Netserver 2000 U3 running Red Hat 
with 2.4.2-2 kernel as a file server, currently using 3 x 36 Gig SCSI's 
on RAID 1.

I have three new 73gig SCSI disks which I want to configure so I can 
copy the data from the existing 36 Gig RAID 1 and move those disks to 
another machine (or use on a different mount point). The SCSI's are hot 
swappable and I'm googing for Linux RAID Howto so I can figure out what 
device (eg /dev/sd##) the drives are available at, then configure the 3 
x 73 Gig drives as RAID 1, sync them, mount them and copy the data 
across, test it and then move the old 36 gig disks to another server.

I'm currently reading 
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-5.html but if anyone has 
any suggestions to a HOWTO that may be better/easier please let me know

Thanks
Kai
