[patch] raidtools: mailing list traffic reduction patches ;)

As many on this list have mentioned, there are a couple of problems that keep people posting for help with. I've made some quick patches to the raidtools-19990824-0.90 package in hopes of helping people out in the future. these patches are all superficial, in that they shouldn't affect how raid

RE: [patch] raidtools: mailing list traffic reduction patches ;)

I said: * Changed parser.c to assume a chunk-size of 4k for a raid0 array that otherwise has no chunk-size... as the documentation suggests to folks that no chunk-size param is needed for raid0... and since you can change raid0 chunk-size after the raid has been made, they aren't stuck with

Listen to this: I had a thought spawned in my mind because of Tom's nice little patch. I thought, "may be what we currently lack is a common waterhole on the net for Linux RAID issues?". Then I thought, "What about a linux-raid.org site?". Whois told me it was already a registered domain. A

How do I spin up a SCSI disk after being hot swapped?

Hi. I'm one of the many satisfied new RAID patch/toolchain users. I use the aic7xxx driver for the Adaptec chipset, which are both onboard and offboard. It works great. I have an issue though, about spinning up a SCSI disk after replacing a faulty one using hot swap. I know the drive can be

md: bug in file raid5.c, line 659

I got some low level SCSI problems on a raid array that was already running in degraded mode, and the kernel outputted the following: sym53c876-1-12,0: M_REJECT received (5:80). sym53c876-1: unexpected disconnect sym53c876-1-12,0: COMMAND FAILED (8a ff) @c7fad000. SCSI disk error : host 1

raid as modules?

Hi! I am currently playing with the RAID patches. I have kernel 2.2.12 and applied the raid 0145 patch for 2.2.11. It complained about fs.h, but the changes it wanted to make in fs.h were already there. I also compiled the latest snapshot of the raidtools 0.90. Kernel configuration: |# |#

Re: your mail

If I'm not mistaken, the kernel-2.2.12 available as an rpm from the rawhide section of the redhat ftp site has the RAID patches built in But RAID is a module in this kernel, so you'll have to recompile if you want to do root raid... -- Bo Kersey email:

Re: your mail

Ahhh soo. Old sun disks have a non standard format that is proprietary to Sun. If they have never been re-formatted, they can cause problems. Simply do a low level re-format and the problem will go away. BTDT Michael On Sun, 3 Oct 1999, Rick H. Wesson wrote: hello, i'm having
