Hello, I've got a server running with a huge external hardware RAID. The raid
has 3 host channels, meaning that you can connect three computers to it, and
write from one and read from the other two. On one channel, I've got a NT
computer. On the other, I've got a Sun Ultra 1. On the third, is my Linux box
running Mandrake 6.0 with 2.2.9 kernel (recompiled with UFS and NTFS
support) which reads both filesystems and shares them to each other. The
problem is that Linux can't see the new files that are written to the disks from
NT or SUN, we have to reboot it to update the filesystem. Unmounting and
mounting won't help.
So last night I got an idea... What if I made Linux treat that disk the same way
as it treats a Zip-disk? Or a hot-swappable disk?
This is where problem number two comes up. I don't know how to do it, I don't
know what files to look in, and I don't know anything about programming... Can
anyone help me (please include the paths to scripts I have to edit, "the
diskscripts" tells me very litte).
Thanks in advance,
Kent R. Nilsen
