Using underlying adX devices as well as ar0?
Hi, I posted this question in -Questions about a week ago, and didn't get any replies :( I'm just trying to check - we have a number of 8.2-STABLE amd64 systems where the onboard RAID shows up as '/dev/ar0' (which we use for filesystems, i.e. /dev/ar0s1d et'al), and the underlying devices for that RAID1 array show up as '/dev/ad12', '/dev/ad14'. Is it OK to run smartmontools / smartd / smartctl against the underlying adX devices, whilst ar0 is in use? I can't see anywhere that seems to indicate it's bad - and I can't seem to find anywhere that seems to say it's Ok... Thanks, -Karl ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Yes. :-) Thanks :-) I'll look for other reasons why one of the machines mysteriously locked up with everything hung in 'ufs' [you can see why I asked now! :)] -Karl ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
