How To Set Up Software RAID1 On A Running System (Incl. GRUB Configuration) (Fedora 8) This guide explains how to set up software RAID1 on an already running Fedora 8 system. The GRUB bootloader will be configured in such a way that the system will still be able to boot if one of the hard drives fails (no matter which one).

Great walkthrough overall.  Another forum commented it's a good idea to change fstab/mtab on the RAID, but you have to change them before creating the kernel image.  So change them back on /mnt/sda to ensure the system comes up.

My big gotcha: disable SELinux.  After following the instructions and rebooting, I got "/bin/bash: Permission denied" while trying to ssh into the system.
