4. EXTLINUX now supports symbolic links. However, extremely long
symbolic links might hit the pathname limit. Also, please note
that absolute symbolic links are interpreted from the root *of the
- filesystem*, which might be different from now the running system
+ filesystem*, which might be different from how the running system
would interpret it (e.g. in the case of a separate /boot
partition.) Therefore, use relative symbolic links if at all
possible.
- Install the MBR on *each disk*, and mark the RAID-1 partition
active.
-- Run "extlinux -i /boot" to install extlinux. This will install it on
- all the drives in the RAID-1 set, which means you can boot any
- combination of drives in any order.
