I've tried this:
Insert 4 disks in system, 1 root, 3 in raid-5.
The raid is up and running.
I remove one of the disks in the raid (yes, they are supposed to
be hot plugable...).
The raid complains, and continues
Make sure your drives are jumpered to spin up automatically instead of
waiting for a wakeup signal from the SCSI controller. Enable a spin up
delay if necessary to spread out the PSU load. See if this helps...

RAID on FreeBSD:

I know this isn't the NT RAID list, but here goes:
Always, always, always have an emergency recovery boot disk for NT.
Further, assuming this is NT4, ever notice at boot time the "Press
spacebar now to invoke Hardware Profile/Last Known Good menu." prompt?

I made the same mistake; don't upgrade the kernel, stay at
2.2.5-15, then it works.

Actually this has been the center of several conversations lately.
There is a patch that works fine
As I said, I'm trying to set up a SW RAID 5 array under SUSE LINUX 6.1
The configuration sample file mentioned in the manual
(raid5.conf.sample) is not shipped with my Linux distribution.
You don't need it with raidtools 0.90. Check out raidtab.sample. /etc/raidtab is
the only configuration
device /dev/sdi1
spare-disk 7
This is the problem. That should be:
device /dev/sdi1
spare-disk 0

Your analysis is correct--RAID protects against disk failure, not against
other failures (such as NT eating itself, or for that matter, people
accidentally deleting files); it is not a replacement for tape backup, it
complements tape backup.

You missed the failing part of the patch concerning fs.h.

If you're running RedHat 6.0 their /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit is wrong. It
uses the old raidtools commands.
Hello RAID hackers,
I'm trying to create a couple software RAID-1 arrays on a new Dell
server my employer just purchased. Here's quick rundown of my current
setup:
Adapter 7890 SCSI Controller
3 Quantum Viking II 9.1 GB SCSI drives
RedHat 6.0 w/ 2.2.10 kernel (compiled with RAID-1 support)
hi allan, steve,
using NT to backup linux destroys linux permissions...
using linux to backup NTs destroys NT permissions/uid/gid
- as others have stated earlier
using mirror'ed disks might result in the original disk being bad/corrupted
and the mirror itself to be bad...( you have the time
Hey guys,
I am unclear on whether this is a Linux RAID issue, or a Linux SCSI issue,
quite frankly it seems to be neither. And, those of us subscribed to
both lists are finding that our mailboxes are rapidly filling up with
multiple copies of these items...
How about you take it off-line...

- duplicating a partition layout is much easier :)
If the drives are the same size, the following command works very well to
copy a partition table from one to the other:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 count=5
I'm not even sure the count
I did all the fixes you have been talking about and made a newer
patch. I just used it on a new system and it compiles and works for
me.

I will probably have one for 2.2.10 tomorrow.

Hello,
I'm new to this mailing list so if this question is out of place please go
easy on me. :-)
I'm working on setting up a Raid set on my RH6.0 box. It's pretty much a
stock install with the raid tools added.
I've got the Raid5 stripe set working no problems.
My problem is recovery. This
