Raid mirroring with Linux 6.0?

1999-05-30 Thread Chris Palazzolo
Hi, I'm trying to mirror two drives (/dev/hda /dev/hdb) to a /dev/md0 array in Linux 6.0. The OS is currently on /dev/hda and is running fine. My question is, how can I create a RAID mirror set without losing the data? I've obvioulsy got your e-mail from the "-force" option and wanted to see

Explanation could be the following: --- This drive does not appreciate initiators that are very unfair at arbitrating for the SCSI BUS and tells such initiators about by using unexpected bus free conditions. I can reproduce at will the problem using a

Re: How to read /proc/mdstat

To identify the spare devices through /proc/mdstat... 1) Look for the [#/#] value on a line. The first number is the number of a complete raid device as defined. Lets say it is 'n'. 2) The raid role numbers [#] following each device indicate its role, or function, within the raid set.

Sounds like the same problem I had using the default rh6.0 kernel. While it autodetects raid it doesn't have the raid modules compiled in. To keep everything uniform in my cluster, i simply created a new initrd that loads the raid1 module and it proceds to boot fine with root on a raid1

I just returned an DPT 2044UW controller and caching module, performance was AWFUL. Before I buy a ICP Vortex controller, I wanted to see if anyone knows about any other alternatives. I thought somoene might know how the performance of the software raid support is versus (the typical)

Just a guess, but do you need an alias for md-personality-3 in your /etc/conf.modules? I do know that RedHat screwed up /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit in 6.0 - they left in the old raid startup methods (what was it raidadd or something?). You might need to modify that file also... fwr - Original

Only "solution" I've found is to boot up in single user mode and copy stuff so that you free up partitions. Then you could make your raid device, format it, mount it, and copy stuff back. Depending on the layout and size of you partitions this could be extremely easy or extremely hard. fwr
