Website available on setting up RAID0 and 1

2000-02-12 Thread Eugene Blanchard
Hi I've put up an old article that I wrote for the Linux Gazette on my website that discusses the old and new methods for running software RAID0 and RAID1 on Linux. I believe that the methods discussed are very similar to the latest software raidtools and the site would be very useful for those n

scsi-idle and raid?

1999-01-10 Thread Eugene Blanchard
Has anyone worked with the scsi-idle patch and raid0/raid1? I have a linux box with 4 old seagate drives in raid1 over raid0. Two striped pairs mirrored together. Unfortunately, they are in a computer/classroom setting and are not accessed often. They are quite noisy. I'm looking at using the scsi

Raid success story's questions revisited

1998-12-15 Thread Eugene Blanchard
In my original post, I mistakenly said that I was running raid0 over raid1. This is not the case. I am running raid1 over raid0 (mirroring over striping). Sorry for the misinformation. When one of my scsi devices failed, the kernel locked up. Now for the questions: If a hard-drive fails like in t

Successfully raid auto recovery story and a few questions too!

1998-12-04 Thread Eugene Blanchard

RAID0/1 for 2.0.30 to 2.035 Info here!

1998-11-07 Thread Eugene Blanchard
If you need information on RAID0, RAID1 or RAID1 over RAID0 for kernels 2.0.30 to 2.0.35, please e-mail me and I will send you the information that I've worked out with the generous help of the linux-raid list. Its too large to send to the linux-raid list and would spam a lot of people if I did.

Autodetecting RAID1 array?

1998-10-29 Thread Eugene Blanchard
I have raid1 over raid0 (mirroring over striping) on 2.0.35 kernel patched to raid0145-1005.. and raidtools-0.90. I can autodetect the raid0 partitions (type set to 0xfd) but can't autodetect the mirrors. I can manually start it by typing raidstart /dev/md0 and it works fine. Can I set the partit

Obsolete MD ioctl error message?

1998-10-22 Thread Eugene Blanchard
I am trying to implement mirroring over striping. I am running 2.0.35 kernel with raid0145-19981005-C-2_0_35 patch. cat /proc/mdstat says that personalities raid0 and raid1 are loaded with md0 to md15 inactive. I have raidtools-0.90 installed. When I got to use mdadd, I get the error message m
