The 4 raid5 drives here all only hold one partition that fills the whole drive. No lilo, nothing, since I boot from an additional disk (on a different controller). fdisk shows: /dev/hde1: begin 1, start 1, end 32760, blocks 16511008, type 83, linux native seems all ok. My little problem her stem

If I'm not mistaken, the 2.0.36 that came with RedHat 5.2 was the prepatch version, not the final release. If that's the case, you'll need to make the modules from the 2.0.36 final kernel that you've got. "make modules" and "make modules_install" should do it.. Brian On Wed, 16 Dec 1998, Enbo

Raid integrity check program

1998-12-16 Thread Stephen Costaras
I have several hardware raid systems on site (EMC, HDS, et al). and they usually have a tool or program that will force a integrity check of the raid array (ie, go through the entire array to make sure that the data and the data's checksum are in sync). This is not something that is fast, but it

Ingo: I tested your newest raid-patch & tools. I happily found the commands and config files mostly revamped, it´s much more straightforward now compared to the old patch&tools (0.41). I´m also very pleased with the background raid5 construction. Enough good news, now the bad ones: compiling t
