## 1. Introduction

## 1.1 Acknowledgements

The essence of the information I've put together here was originally provided by Harald Nordgård-Hansen `<` hnh@bukharin.hiof.no`>` and posted to the raid mail list in a lilo.conf file with commentary by Martin Bene `<` mb@sime.com`>`. Many thanks for your contribution. I've tried to put this information and the helpful work of many others who contribute to the raid mail list and linux raid project into a COOKBOOK form, including many examples from real systems so that bootable root raid is easy to set up and understand. One section is devoted to the conversion of a standard single drive system to RAID. The key to the conversion, in my humble opinion, is the understanding of bootable root raid.

## 1.2 Bugs

Yes, I'm sure there are some. If you'd be good enough to report them, I will correct the document. ;-)
