I had to work through this for some Dell MD1000 arrays a few years ago. Say /dev/sdx was the last drive in the array(s) and I removed /dev/sdp because it failed and then plugged in a new drive. Then I'd get a new /dev/sdy instead of replacing /dev/sdp. It turned out that I just needed to tell the kernel before I removed the dead drive. In lieu of being able to find my own notes on this, http://blog.nexxes.org/2009/08/09/save-hot-remove-sata-drives-under-linux/ looks very similar to what I wound up doing. jbh _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
