But why not just use the Install/Repair CD and partition

Both sdb and sdc are fully partitioned in the hardware raid with:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part1
69972 15457 50902 24% /boot
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part2
20641788 5114476 14478672 27% /
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part3
219648612 12348660 196142408 6% /home
What does any of that have to do with sda?
Aaron,
sda was experiencing unrecoverable disc errors. It was dying and had to
be replaced. That's what started this thread. The raid above doesn't
contain swap and I didn't want to just remove sda and risk screwing up
the raid created out of sdb and sdc by trying to repartition the discs
in the raid array to try and shoehorn a swap partition on them.
The downside is rebuilding the entire system again if something goes
wrong and I don't have the time to jack with it. I'm not just talking
about reloading the system, I'm talking about dhcp dyn dns postfix
procmail mysql etc.. It may be easy and the partitioning may work, but
it was a whole lot easier just to put a healthy sda in create swap and go...
That's what I would do.
Replace the failing disk,
partition it properly,
and resume computing.
