Subject: RADI 1 recovery on REDHAT 5.2
>Hi,
>
>I installed two QUANTUM Atlas III 9 GB disks, using RAID 1 on a REDHAT 5.2
>(right out of the box - no patches installed).
>Apart from the fact that I had to add the alias line to /etc/conf.modules
>manually (alias md-personality-3 raid1).
>Once mounted, my system ran proprely, testing writes and reads of various
>files.

>Wanting to be prepared for disaster, I disconnected the power of the second
>disk in the RAID array and performed a read on some files in my mounted
raid
>directory.
>That started o.k., upto a point where my cat stopped reading the file.
>When I rebooted the system (with the second disk powered again) ,
raidrun -a
>exited with a 1, suggesting I should run ckraid.
>Amazing: ckraid reported no errors, and the correct block count. But: NO
>GO.
>(btw, I ran ckraid with a collection of possible options...)
>/proc/mdtab reported a VERY large number of blocks - larger than the
correct
>number as reported by ckraid.
