Hi, Use a "raidhotadd" to add in the partition on the newly replaced failed drive. For example: md0 is made from sda1 and sdb1. The sdb drive fails, so md0 comes up in degraded mode running off of sda. When you add in a new sdb drive the raid driver does not bother with it, but continues to run

LVD RAID Controller performance

Hi, Has anyone run bonnie against RAID-0/5 arrays running on either the AMI 438 Ultra-2/LVD with good LVD disks (e.g. Quantum Atlas III or even Seagate Cheetah)? With any other LVD RAID controller? If so, I'd like to see your results. Thanks, Chance

d point, i have not thought of this. I have just tried this with the 19981214 patch, and my system did not actually crash, it retried to write the new spare a couple of times then gave up. What were the symptoms on your system? It really should not have crashed, read-only status can be considere
