For the record just because your controller supports hot swap doesn't mean software raid will handle it well. Raid cards are expensive for a reason, they work.
Barry Johnson I have a 1u server - the description is listed below. http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/SUPERServer/SuperServer5013C-T.htm I've loaded up RH9 with raid1 setup and I've updated the OS with all the latest rpms(kernel included) and such. The drives for the raid setup are Western Digital hot-swappable Serial ATA drives. So I figured with hot swappable drives running raid1 I'd be able to yank a drive up and still have things running. Then looking at /proc/mdstat I'd see 1 drive down - but the system *should* keep running. Anyhow I pulled a drive, typed few basic commands - got some junk that rolled across console - then the system froze. People could no longer ping the machine, console was unresponsive, ctl-alt-del didn't work. I had to power cycle the machine. Basically I'm asking why I'm seeing this behavior - w/ a system running raid1 with and hotswapable? Is there anything I can do as far as hard/software setup to make sure linux keeps running. In theory one drive can fair the the other should still work. -- Rock River Internet Roger Grunkemeyer 202 W.
