James and all following,
You seem to have missed the point Lauri made. We aren't
saying don't offer GUIs. We are saying please offer GUIs AND

I am solidly with Daniel on this. Why does no one ever use the fact that
a graphical interface can be put on top of a text mode interface (we have
multitasking don't we?) and thus kept equivalent instead of divergent?
It is self-documenting too at the developer level.

All,
Here's a reprise of this ancient message. But there's method
in my madness. We need to do just this and are hitting a wall.
We have stock RedHat 6.0 with the 18 disk patch by Lance
Robinson, and no other kernel, module or raidtools changes. We
tried removing disk fifteen (sdo, scsi 2 0
We've found we have to rename /etc/raidtab to something else.
Haven't really figured out why.

All,
The simple patch suggested by Lance Robinson was successful in
bringing up 18 disk RAID-5 on our stock RedHat 6.0 system. The changes
were made on a "pure" kernel,modules,raidtools with no other previous
customization.
Our test was on partitions distributed over 2 disks. We got

All,
MANY THANKS for this TREMENDOUS response to my query - at
least 3 paths to a solution, wow! We'll try Lance's patch to
start with, and let you know how it works. (We're still with
stock RH 6.0.) But an official 27 disk solution will be really
nice once we figure out how to upgrade the res
All,
I guess this has been asked before, but - when will the RAID
code get past the 12 disk limit? We'd even be willing to use
a variant - our customer wants 18 disk RAID-5 real bad.

These questions are from the point of view of 0.90 or higher
(i.e. RH 6.0).
- How do you recover a RAID1 or a RAID5 with a bad disk when
you have no spares, i.e. how do you hotremove and hotadd? Please
go through it step by step because many paths seem to lead to
hangs.
- How do you recover a RAID
We want to use Linux raid to make a raid out of pre-existing raids, which I
thought was possible. We tried creating two RAID-1s of 2 disks each, then a
RAID-0 of these two joined. We finished the mkraids on the RAID-1s before
starting the RAID-0. It said something like
running md. not good

ALL RIGHT, the initrd approach WORKED, and I did not have to (ugh, yech)
recompile any kernels!
mkinitrd --preload raid5 /boot/initrd 2.2.5-15
was the magic command (for raid5), and in lilo.conf you then
have to replace the version number line with
initrd=/boot/initrd
and then call lilo and re
Thanks, I checked all 4 of your bullets -
(1) I assume I have autodetection since dmesg|more says

I brought up a raid5 on my RH6.0 system, no kernel changes - it seemed
happy. I put in persistent-superblock 1 and parity-algorithm left-symmetric
and 3 disks, no spares. mkraid returned fast but disk lights kept going
nearly an hour: /proc/mdstat said it was resyncing. There was one SCSI

Folks,
I'm a newbie at Software RAID, with a system that works excellently
with Redhat 5.2 (Linux 2.0.36) except it seems to be missing a kernel
module for RAID-1.
Pentium II system, 1 G of RAM (only 960M used), 3 SCSI adapters (all
Adaptec), network adapter, floppy, tape; 4 SCSI disks
