I should probably add that the RAID areas are not system areas. They contain data only, not any operating system files. On Mon, 15 May 2000, Robert wrote: > Not sure why, but last night my /etc and /var and /bin directories > dissappeared. Not sure if it was a bug, or some hacker who found hi

Hi, and thanks a lot to all that replied so fast. I got it up running now with a patched kernel. What I do not understand is that much output from mkraid that I have already posted in my first email. Do I have to worry about it, because it came again this time ? Greetings, Timo

this is a raid 0 array correct? if so, redhat may have a different chunk size than the original created array, which could explain why the data appears screwed up. the thing to do is go back and mkraid on the array with different chunk sizes until you find the original one. then the first ext2 su

Problem setting up a raid0 with raidtools-0.90-6 and redhat-6.2

Hi all, I am new to the use of raidtools. I want to set up a raid0 drive with a scsi disk and an ide disk. I am using redhat-6.2, and I have the latest kernel version 2.2.15 running, which I downloaded after the normal installation. I needed it because I had trouble with the tulip.o module in 2.2

I don't know the internals of RAID but I have just done a little experiment - it probably won't help you sleep at night but I thought you would like to know and it may help you. 1. I made a RAID-0 array (raidtab & mkraid /dev/md0) under Mandrake 7.0-2 using a fresh 2.2.14 kernel with IDE & R

Adventures with onboard HPT366 controller and RAID

I have tried to get the latest Linux RAID patches to work with the ABit BE6-2 onboard HPT366 controller (BIOS ver 1.21) without success. There has been a bit of discussion relating to this on this mailing list (as well as the Linux-kernel mailing list) so I was hoping this may help someone and an
