This section assumes that the new array is an additional array to be added to /etc/fstab. By contrast the section on RAID1 assumes that you want a mirrored root partition on a newly-installed system. The extra complexities mean that the section is confusing to a beginner. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Move the existing RAID1 section to a new section - "How to mirror your boot partition" (or similar). Create a new RAID1 section covering how to add a RAID1 array as an additional filesystem, in the same vein as the current RAID0 section. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
