drives on a system already running Linux. After using mdadm to create a
RAID set on two partitions already formatted ext3, they then say to
issue the command
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0
Won't that erase anything already on the two drive partitions that make
up md0?
Also, does anyone know where to buy SATA cables cheaply? I think I need
to replace one that I suspect is faulty.
