I am running 2.2.12. What I don't understand is if both md0 and md1 are
kicked out, why am I still able to use md2. I can read information
without any problems at this point. That seems strange.
Also, I'm still unclear on *which* drive specifically caused the error.

I have a proto-production Root RAID1 array set up, and it's mostly working
fine. I did have quite some trouble getting the root md set up and
booting, but now that it's done, it's stable.
I usually do a set of tests to know how well my R1 is working - 'hot'

Hi
I'm using a redhat 6.1 with a 2.3.21 kernel.
the raid/raid5 support is compiled in the kernel (aka not module).
I have 5 hard drives (IBM-DJNA-351520, 14664MB w/430kB Cache, CHS=29795/16/63,
(U)DMA) who are called hdb to hdf.
All of these disks only have one partition on them which is hd?1 and

The limit of four md devices is easily lifted by changing MAX_MD_DEV in

With a safety (no idea how you write this) backplane, a disk shelf can
communicate with the SCSI card and physically turn off a failed disk for
instance.

I'm installing & testing RAID1 on a rh6.1 server. 2 18 GB drives on an

I've mirrored only 2 partitions so far (/usr & /var). I originally created a

have also re-compiled the kernel to include RAID1 personality,

So it seems, Mylex AcceleRaid 250 _will_ do nicely, not really cheap but will
work, I've been using Mylex Raids on our Netware servers for years.

is the second lilo raid patch I have seen and they're different.

Hello, all.
I have been using Linux RAID for some time now with the AHA 2940 U2W
and SUN Diskpacks. I am at the point where four md devices and sixteen
SCSI disk devices are not enough.
My question is; How do I increase the number of these devices?
I have begun looking at the kernel source and

Hello.
I have a small question.
I have had two HD's in RAID0 for some time, with 16 in chunk size.
Yesterday, the second of theese HD's krasched,
