Hi.
I've set up the raidtools ( RAID5) in my Linux PC and everything seems
to be right.
I am making several tests but I haven't found information about how I
can replace a broken disk.
The steps I am following are:
- Unplug the drive /dev/hdd
- Boot the system. Raid starts in degraded mode, and I can mount
both devices.
- Stop the system. Plug the disk and restart.
- Then raid system boots in degraded mode and don't start the
reconstruction process.
My kernel version is 2.0.36 patched with raid0145-19990421-2.0.36
The raidtools version is raidtools-0.90
My raidtab file is:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 4
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 256
device /dev/hda7
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb2
raid-disk 1
device /dev/hdc2
raid-disk 2
device /dev/hdd2
raid-disk 3
raiddev /dev/md1
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 3
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 32
device /dev/hdc1
raid-disk 1
device /dev/hdd1
raid-disk 2
device /dev/hdb1
raid-disk 0
Thanks for all.
