this is a hardware problem, not software. sounds like your hardware does not support hot swap. Most hardware does not. The most common hot swap configuration is using 80pin SCA SCSI drives using a hotswap backplane. Recently I configured such a system, and yanked a drive while the system was running and the system didn't skip a beat. Plugged it back in, ran a few commands and the array resynched. I most DEFINATELY would NOT reccomend using those $20 IDE disk cages, some of which advertise "hot swap". If your using IDE disks there are some hot swap capable cages, the only one I can think of at the moment comes from 3ware. Not sure on the cost. system freeze is a typical response for the hardware having a non recoverable error. nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
