Well we cannot run raidhotadd to add the new partition because the root file system is already mounted so we get disk busy error.

Hi Guys
We have a server running raid 1 mirroring and one of the HDD failed. We have since replaced the failed drive and have re-constructed 2 out of the 3 raid arrays. The problem we are having is with re-contructing the raid array runnning on the root partition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It should be straightforward, what problem(s) did you encounter?
Basically make a matching partition using fdisk, set the type to fd, tell the raid about it now being available and watch it sync.

Show me the /etc/raidtab file, outputs from,
cat /etc/fstab
cat /etc/mtab
df -h
cat /proc/mdstat
the syntax of the raidhotadd command you used
