Hi, I am new to this list. I hope you can help me with my problem in my Software RAID config. This is the scenario:
I'm setting up a Linux Server and I am trying the Software RAID since our school can't afford the Hardware RAID. I'm using a PIV 2.6GHz with 1GB DDR RAM with 2 80GB HD. The distro im using is RH 9.0. I followed the manual for the Software RAID configuration and I have successfully installed it without error messages. I have 2 problems: 1. If I simulate a hard disk failure on my secondary IDE, my server will boot and run on degraded mode. But when I return the disk, it could not reconstruct the RAID Array which I suppose should update the mirrored image. It is then still running in degraded mode. By the way, I set the raid partition to use RAID 1. 2. Second problem is if I simulate a disk failure on my Primary IDE, my secondary IDE won't boot. I read from a RH7.1 manual the I have to use the LILO loader but i still get the same problem. I also set my /boot partition to use RAID 1. I have carefully followed instructions that I downloaded from the RH 9.0 Customization Guide and I don't know what I missed. I also download several other guides from other sources and have tried them too but still same problem. I think the manual what Redhat has provided is lacking. Its only a 3 page manual, no troubleshooting guides. I think people with actual experience, like you guys, can help me. Thanks. Carlo Simpao ===================== Carlo M.
