[dundee] Raid 1 + Encryption

[Sean McRobbie]

Hello,

The alternate install CD for Ubuntu Server provides RAID+LVM+LUKS. I have successfully set up plenty of Ubuntu servers using nothing more than their installer for RAID1 drives.

With the installer, I *think* the process goes like this:

Create 256mb raid disk md0 on drive 1
Create 256mb raid disk md0 on drive 2
Create 2GB swap on drive 1
Create 2GB swap on drive 2
Create raid disk md1 on remaining space on both drives

Create /boot on md0 as ext2
Create LVM on md1
(my memory fails at this point) Create ext3 LUKS on the LVM.

Hope this helps

Regards,
Sean McRobbie

okay, now here's a question for you.. 

after following the *excellent guide here* 

http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server/ 

I got a very good raid 1 setup, it's suprising stable and quick. 

However , how does one add encrypted raid 1? is it possible ? I'm sure it's out 
the power of the normal install.... 

go an scare me with a config or two.. 

Cheers, 
Lee
