Hi, i want to reconfigure my server fairly dramaticly and im trying to
work out how i can do it without great pain.
I currently have 3 drive of ~ 20GB, i have another 20GB and 6.4GB i want
to include in my array.
I have about 40Gb of data currently on the drives, about 10GB on a
raid0, the rest

Did you patch you kernel? I'm not an expert at this, but it seems
that you are using conflicting user-space and kernel-space versions of
the Raid code. Those 'md:x : inactive' seem to be a trait of some old
kernel raid code...
Patch, configure, and install the kernel, then build and install t
Folks,
My array decided to show me what was wrong with it (see my posts earlier
today). It was a comprehensive head crash which was slow coming on but which
eventually took the disk totally out of action. The Promise card does not even
see it . . . :-(
So no problem, I have 3 of the four left,

I have run up a 6 X 4.1Gb RAID5 box with raidtools 0.9 on a SYMBIOS 53C860
controller.
Looking at the mdstat and resyncing all works fine. Moved some data onto Raid.
Then I moved the box to another SMP Server running the same controller.
It claimed th

uhh- maybe cause you are compairing two completely different systems? try
using the same size and number of disks, same motherboard, same cpu, same
everything but the disks and controller, before you try to compair scsi to
ide...

Hi,
I made the tests between ide and scsi soft raid and I do not understand

Hi,
This is slightly off topic but a lot of people here seem to be using Andre's
IDE patch for 2.2.14. I am just curious as to how you got it working. I am
trying to apply over raid 2.2.14b1 which applies fine but the kernel doesn't
compile. I even tried it without the raid patches with this s
