          [root@XenServer ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
          Personalities : [raid10] [raid1]
          md0 : active raid1 sdb[0] sdc[1]

              Nothing wrong with RAID 1!

                Will this guide work with CentOS 7?

                  It likely would, but you'll have to test it to find out.

                    To do what with CentOS 7? Do you want to install CentOS to a USB stick? Or are you just looking for the MD RAID portion?

                      We need to make this guide again with XS7.

                        Has anyone attempted this guide on XS7? Confirming what works and what doesn't.

                              @scottalanmiller Well, change of plans, I ordered 32GB more RAM and 2 New 64GB thumbdrives, which will be here Saturday. Will upgrade then and test 🙂

                                There appears to be a bug with XS7 and upgrading / using an existing MD array.

                                    @aaronstuder Tried upgrading, and I'm getting several errors on my test system. Which ran XS6.5 just fine.

                                    Going to try again and see what happens, this time not using the existing array, but the same boot device.

                                          It looks as though I'm going to have to clean the drives that are a part of the old array before I can proceed. I'm getting an error

                                           no such file or directory: '/sys/block/md127p1'

                                            @DustinB3403 Bummer. On a side note, how do I quickly remove all partitions on a drive in Linux? I want a blank drive with nothing on it 🙂
