There's no question that it's a completely different interface, but I don't think it's any more confusing than raidtools. Starting with no previous experience with either, as I did, I think learning mdadm is no more difficult to learn than raidtools and, perhaps, easier as everything you need is rolled up into one program. > Hamish > -- > Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cheers! cmr -- Debian 'Sarge': Registered Linux User #241964 "More laws, less justice." -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

raidtools
I've got software raid up and running but before I send this server out to the production environment I wanted to test the hot swap SCSI drives. They are setup as a software mirror. I yanked one, and through in a blank drive, had it re-detect by echoing the proper strings into /proc/scsi/scsi. At this point I noticed that I hadn't installed the raidtools (raidhotremove, raidhotadd...). They don't seem to be available from my sources either. Have they been moved? Should I be using a newer tool? can't seem to find out what's changed. Basically what's todays procedures on regenerating software RAID1? my sources.list contains deb http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free deb-src http://debian.csail.mit.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ etch main contrib non-free Jacob Bresciani "Passwords are like bubble gum, strongest when fresh, should never be used by groups and create a sticky mess when left laying around" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
