Are you sure that the raid is running before mounting the device... like raidadd -a? and raidrun -a? Hope this help.

RE: [expert] Serial link
I have a linux box with many daemons running with raid system(squid, telnet, ftp, samba, nis, dhcp). I want to do an exact replication and update of this box to another one. Under Netware you can use SFT-III so am looking to realize the same thing with Linux. After some tests i found that nfs take a lot of cpu during the file transfert under a plip link so i will now try with rsync with an ethernet link.

Your takeing servers in to litteral a sense, if i deck out my box with a load of daemons it's a server even if it has no clients. i'm gona be able to respond very quickly in case of system crash or failure of the primary server. Serial link (or even parallel link for that matter) is _not_ going to enable you to respond "quickly", better use ethernet in that case. Will need ethernet cards (if you don't already have those) but it's not all that expensive (say 20$ for a couple of _new_ 10Mb ones, prices go down all the way to zero if you can get _used_ ones). They are two feet away, i don't understand why you would create a custom server/client (you'll have to if your trying what i think you are) app when the other pc is two feet away (unless there's a wall in that 2' somewhere). I did see recently a toolkit for createing applications that use para ports, if you can finger where i saw it [let me know =-( ] it'll cut your workload abit maybe. So right now i'm doing some tests with a parallel link and i use nfs to do the replication of the most important directores and files. I'm open on better ideas or suggestions... Thanks Wouldn't mirror (or rsync) be better than nfs to replicate ? All a matter of preference, mine being rsync or nfs over ftp mirroring. -- Jean-Louis Debert[EMAIL PROTECTED] 74 Annemasse France old Linux fan
Re: [expert] Serial link

With this replication i'm gona be able to respond very quickly in case of system crash or failure of the primary server. I was thinking of serial link between the servers but someone suggested the parallel link. I don't really have a problem of length cable because i'm only connecting two servers with about 2 feet between them. Today computers have a parallel or serial connectors so i can keep the cost down.
