Re: Reinstall OS Without Disturbing Software Raid Array

From: Simon Mcnair <hidden>

Best advice would be to ensure you have a back up before trying it ;-)

As an aside my raid array is mountable using even a live cd once mdadm
and lvm2 packages have been installed.

Can I reinstall fedora 14 without destroying the software raid array?
Yes.

In the Fedora installer, when you get to the disk partitioning options
selection,
choose "Custom" which is, I believe the last option on the pull down menu.

That assumes, of course, that you are using the GUI installer version.
If you are installing in text mode, the choice is the same, however the menu
is different.

One may if you like, also  selectively save existing partitions and their
data, but choosing
whether or not you want them to be formatted.

Often one may want to preserve /home, assuming that it is a separate
partition or md device.
