I haven't read much on the list for a year and it's fascinating to see the
progress. A year ago I went for an ICP-Vortex card instead of software raid
(too many problems at that time). Now, with the advancements, I'm reconsidering
it. What are people's opinion of the use of the current version

Hi all,
We're having massive problems with Linux-2.2.{1,2,3} and our raid.
We'd been running Linux-2.0.35 with software raid5 on a 100+ GB
file system for months with reasonable stability. However upon
upgrading to 2.2.{1,2,3} the machine kept locking up (frozen hard,
not even a polite panic). Th

I'm beginning to think that there is *no* monitoring software for RAID
array usage stats? ;-(

Interesting.
How large is your array (mine has 50 Gig netto)?
Did you have some unusual large directories on the filesystem (i.e. a
directory with several thousand subdirectories or files).
Did anyone else see that "Free blocks count corrupted for block group X"
error in /var/log/messages?
Or o

thank you for your hint - I better should read the man-pages of certain commands
more often - THAT´S IT !!!
At last there is one question left:
Procinfo (version 13 on my system) only shows the information of four disks - I
got twelve to watch. Is there
a solution, too?

Hi folks,
anyone care to guess how stable/useable this new ext2/ext3 filesystem is?
Where are the patches available, and has anyone actually used it successfully?
Thanks

I believe there are patches out there, but the general concensus is to
call it ext3 to avoid unnecessary use of new code in a mission critical
environment before it's fully stable.
I think the patch instructions start with "cp -dpR fs/ext2 fs/ext3" or
some such.
PS. Although my name is James L
Hi everyone,
I see that Promise Technology actually has some IDE raid cards, and even a
motherboard with one built-in.
I'm assuming linux doesn't have any support for that, correct?
Does it at least support the Promise Ultra33 card, to enable use of more than 4
IDE drives in a system?

Hi David,
thanks for your answer and also thanks to Matthew and Adam for their hints.To

not really the topic - I know - but I read that the maximum size of one
file is currently 2GB on linux like on other operating systems (e.g
HP-UX supports filesizes above 2GB but HP does not take support for it).
Is there a way to increase the size for testing? I was looking for a

Nope, you can't change

Here's my situation.
I have linux 2.2.1 with raid0145-19990128-2.2.0 and
raidtools-19990128-0.90.tar.gz.
I have three disks.
I made a nice raid 5 with only two drives naively expecting to
add the third non-raided disk later. Unfortunately I have no
clue how to do that since I did the mkraid
