Subject: Root partition on raid?
Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2019 08:23:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190612082340.6a00c26a@merlin.browniehive.net> (raw)

This is mostly a shot in the dark, but is it feasible to have a /boot
partition with a initramfs on a partition of it's own and then all the rest
of / on a raid partition?

To make it work kernel, initramfs, mdadm, GRUB and some other tools would
need to be copied to the /boot partition from store, but this is potentially
worthwhile?


(My motivation is that I've a machine with raid "inside" and guix system on a
15G usb flash disk "outside". Lately it keeps running out of disk space when I
try out more interesting setups like http and similar)
