Hello, I have a machine running atacontrol based software RAID in which one of the disks recently failed (Maxtor, not IBM for those who want to know). Now I'm wondering how I should go about fixing this. atacontrol seems to lack a command to fix broken software only arrays.
I suppose I could use dd -if workingdisk -of newdisk but atacontrol seems to block the disks during multi user (and since the box has got work to do, I can't just take it down for a few hours). Other option would be to just install a hardware RAID controller I suppose. I still have a 3ware one laying around somewhere (this one features background rebuilding, albeit very slowly) but I'd be interested to hear whether I can do background rebuilding triggered from atacontrol with Highpoint 370 or Promise Fasttrak controllers. Any comments would greatly be appreciated (as would be CCs to myself as the traffic on this list makes it sometimes hard to find the answers ;-).
