The hiccup in our latest dual redundant Manna Mail Server implementation created a real challenge for our engineers.
The servers were Dell Poweredge 750 1U with 2 x 1TB SATA drives. Installation of Debian Lenny from netinst CDs would hang (possibly they were just painfully slow) around 33% to 44% when installing core packages.
Anybody seen that problem before?
We resolved it by installing without software raid to just one drive.
Then used Falko Timme's excellant guide on howtoforge.com - How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System (Incl. GRUB Configuration) (Debian Etch)
Thanks Falko! It works for Lenny as well!
