== Configuring RAID 1 10 on Web Server (2/15/2016-2/17/2016) ==
hostname: McNairWebServ
I guessed that, because the 1 MB RAID device was made first, that the kernel tried to install itself to that device and failed. So I went back to the partitioner and set the first RAID device to "do not use" and then tried the installation process again. It prompted me a couple of times warning me that the old filesystem would be overwritten, but I continued the installation regardless. But then the GRUB boot loader failed, even if we tried not installing it to the master boot record (MBR) and installing it to "dev/md0" or installing it to "dev/md0_raid1"
The first RAID device (/dev/md0) we set to use as an ext4 filesystem and mounted /boot to it, and the second RAID device (/dev/md127) we set to use as an ext4 filesystem and mounted / to it (we tried this before, but it failed to install the kernel). This time, it failed to install the bootloader, but it never prompted me to choose where to install the bootloader (usually it asks whether you'd like to install the bootloader to the master boot record).
First hard disk (/dev/sda):
* 10 MB partition, use as ext4 filesystem, mount point /reserved BIOS bootarea, bootable flag onoff
* 32 GB partition, use as swap space
* rest of the space partition, use as ext4 filesystem, mount point /, bootable flag off
Second hard disk (/dev/sdb):
* 10 MB partition, use as ext4 filesystem, mount point nonereserved BIOS boot area, bootable flag onoff
* 32 GB partition, use as swap space
* rest of the space partition, use as ext4 filesystem, mount point /, bootable flag off
