I'm setting up two 27GB IDE drives for RAID1
with Red Hat 6.1 I haven't applied any patches (yet).
Here's my configuration:
/boot 5M no mirror
hda1
/ 300M mirrored
" 5
swap 256M no mirror " 6
/user_area ~26G mirrored " 7
/boot2 5M no mirror
hdc1
/ 300M
mirrored " 5
swap 256M no mirror "
6
/user_area ~26G mirrored " 7
with /dev/md0 -> hda5, hdc5 and
/dev/md1 -> hda7, hdc7
Here's what I'm curious about:
When I run the system, /etc/raidtab looks right and mdstat
shows both md devices active. If I bring the system down,
disconnect one disk and bring the system back up, I get a
lot error messages about the missing drive during the early
part of boot, boot continues and then I get prompted to enter
the root password to go into maintenance mode (runlevel 1).
I assumed the system would just pick up with the remaining
drive and not need any user intervention. ????
If I reconnect the second drive and boot back up I try to
use raidhotadd, raidstart and raidstop but can't get the second
drive back running and sync'd up. I also can only boot off
of 1 disk. Help with what I'm missing???
TIA,
Jeff H.
