Did you look at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-1.html#ss1.4 already?
If a raid array is degraded by the complete loss of a drive, it (software raid as described in the howto) won't automatically restore it after it is reconnected. see http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.3 for info on how to simulate a failure. We have a talk on LVM available in our archives, too. You might be interested in doing raid + LVM. http://www.trilug.org/talks/2005-10-raid/md-lvm-presentation Peace, CMP On 3/14/06, WA Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have read some about Raid.
