I'm making a script to manage my raid.This is what my script is doing to recover my raid.
umount /dev/gvinum/r5 #remove the raid gvinum rm -r d0 gvinum rm -r d1 gvinum rm -r d2 gvinum rm -r d3 gvinum rm r5.p0.s$1 bsdlabel -w /dev/da$1 gvinum create myraid.conf gvinum setstate -f stale r5.p0.s$1 gvinum start r5 fsck -t ufs /dev/gvinum/r5 #myraid.conf drive d0 device /dev/da0 drive d1 device /dev/da1 drive d2 device /dev/da2 drive d3 device /dev/da3 volume r5 plex org raid5 512k sd drive d0 sd drive d1 sd drive d2 sd drive d3 Is this the way that I should be recovering my raid? With hot swap do I have to do the same for SCSI and SATA, or gvinum will auto detected? I notice that when I change my hard disk around gvinum stop working. I'm planning to reserved the last sector of the harddisk to record the the ordering of the harddisk. In case it move around the myraid.conf can be reconfigure. Using bsdlabel, and dd to record the information. # /dev/da0: 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 208879 16 unused 0 0 b: 1 208895 unused 0 0 c: 208896 0 unused 0 0 # "raw" part, don't edit Thanks, Cong _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
