Processor PII233, RAM 64MByte. Primary harddisk an SCSI IBM, then I
added two new Maxtor

Swapping on a software RAID'd partition will _break_ if the array ever needs
to resync. It's something revealed fairly recently, and has something to do
with using the buffer c

True of root, but see Stephen Tweedie's message of 6 December for a warning
about swap on RAID. You can get corruption if swapping during RAID resyncing.
It's still probably better than not having swap on RAID, as it shoul

OK, here's the lowdown.
I have, well, had, 4 drives in a raid 5 array. drive 4 went south, drive 3
is desynced.
I've replaced drive 4 with a fresh drive. (Seagate Medalist drives are the

Sorry this is such a late reply to the thread
Can't you also force disk geometry settings with boot-prompt parameters? i.e.
add "hdx=cyl,head,sect" to your append line(s) in /etc/lilo.conf, where cyl =

number of sect
