Hi there,
we had the same idea here, and we used option number two...
I would not consider my advice as guru-guidance and neither should
you, just more some sort of moral support... :-)
Just works fine, except some errors we get on some of the disks,
while copying big amount of stuff (2gig in s

Hi,
We just had some memory added in our server that is on some remote location.
The guy also switched the disks that were in the raid1.
He connected them to wrong cables, when he realised that sth is wrong,
he connected them like before and as he say fsck started,
it failed and asked for root p

Folks,
I'm looking for the recommended way to cobble together a kernel which will
support both RAID and the new Ultra66 66MHz ide interface cards (a nice cheap
way to run a decently zippy RAID array, if I do say so musself ;-) ). As I

Once it is set up and working, linux raid it is very stable. In a "production
environment" , the type of re-configuration you are doing is not very common
and I agree that the raid tools don't handle every possible situation.
As for your problem, I think you could still use my suggestion. Boo
Hi everyone,
I have the following configuration:

Memory : 128MB SDRAM

Harddisk: 3 * Seagate Cheetah 9.1 Gb ST39102LW

Here's the situation. I've read the Howto. I've got 2 EIDE disks running
RAID-1 under Redhat 6.0. The partition types are fd, the kernel option for
autodetecting RAID is set, and md0 was built with persistent superblock.
Here is an excerpt from dmesg:

chunksize does have an important meaning in the linear case: it's
'rounding'. We cannot change this unilaterally (it breaks backwards
compatibility), and it does make sense i believe. [certain disks serve
requests faster which have proper alignment and size. I do not think we
should assume that a

Hi All,
I'm looking to put use linux in a production system as a file server and archive

appreciate any feedback.

In the event that someone with more insight to this issue doesn't respond,
here's my suggestion. Try removing the "spare-disks" line from raidtab.
Spare disks are not a consideration for linear mode. Perhaps it's presence
confuses things?

yeah, redhat includes raid patches in their kernels, at least in 6.0 and
6.1.
