I've posted the following message in the newsgroups and a couple other places, without much success. I got this address as I was about to try the mkraid --force option when I saw this address. Executing the actual command frightened me away by saying it was about to destroy the contents of m

We only got 2 or 3 spam mails - that's about 0.001 % of the whole list throughput. - so why talk so long about it - forget it. When we get "attacked" every day - ok, then it's time to think about consequences. This discussion about spam and closing the list or not - THAT generates spam. -

Hello,   I'm trying to set up a 2 drive raid level 0 array. I have gotten to the point where I run mkraid /dev/md/0 (Note: I'm using devfs so the device names will look a bit strange) and it successfully intializes the array. I can make a filesystem and mount it just fine but when I reboot th

Hi, LINUX raid-ers, I am in the process of designing a proposal for a hardware RAID filesystem for my lab. We already have a master node, a dual PIII 600 with 256MB of RAM that connects to our router via 100BT. the clients are mostly 10BT and a few 100BT workstations, plus a beowulf cluster whic

Its a nice complicated case of semaphores in threaded (multi process?) systems ... ... one system needs to be aware that the other system isn't ready yet, without causing incompatibilities. With RAID, would it be possible for the MD driver to actually accept the mount request but halt the proces
