I assume you are looking for double redundancy--survive a double failure. It would be more efficient to do raid5 on top of several raid1 arrays. You will have more arrays, but the checksum will only be calculated once. If you tried raid1 above raid5, you would be calculating the checksum twice (o

Something more on the non-working raid-1 with RH 6.1 when upgrading to kernel 2.2.14. There are all kinds of files in the kernel source different with respect to raid, especially : /usr/src/linux-2.2.12/include/config/autodetect/raid.h the directory include/config/autodetect doesn't exist in

Did you remember to patch the kernel with the new software raid code? The kernel RedHat distributes with RH6.1 is already patched. If you pull down standard 2.2.14 kernel source from kernel.org or a mirror, the patch is missing. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Hi, > I'm running RH6.1 and have a ra

oyah, it also says something about /dev/md.. not being raid0 or linear, which is true, because it's raid-1. but it's not booting from /dev/md.. so it shouldn't matter. Cheers, Jeroen.

Earlier I believe I caught reference to someone else on this list who was having problems with resets working on their BP6. If memory serves, they resolved this by upgrading to a 300W power supply. Alas, I am experiencing the same reset issues and already have a 300W power supply in my Supermicr
