Sort of. I discussed it with our reseller and they said it shouldn't
matter that the geometries are different. I ended up using Disk Druid
to create ext3 partitions on the drive with the LBA cylinders, then I
used sfdisk to dump the partition map, vi to convert the partitions to
software RAID, and sfdisk again to install the new partition map on both
drives. I made sure that I chose partition sizes that would be a whole
number of cylinders on both drives. I went back into Disk Druid and
created the RAID pairs with no trouble. Is there any problem with using
software RAID 1 swap? I thought the machine froze up on me (of course
it could just have been X freezing). I don't have a network yet, so I
couldn't ssh in to check.
Thanks,
