No problem, and thank you again. > I'm kinda surprised you didn't already know about this tool. It's a > must have.

Since 4 years to last year, we just had Hardware RAID, so we didn't need to do any actions on HDD... Now with md RAID we need ! :) > There was a very long discussion about this some time ago.

But i have another problem, hpacucli don't work with all kernel version ! To avoid details, i show you my results : 2.6.32.5-amd64 : OK 2.6.38-bpo.2-amd64 : NOK 2.6.39_bpo.2-amd64 : NOK 3.2.0.0.bpo.1-amd64 : NOK With the two kernels 2.6.*bpo* it work well to show config, show everything you want. To delete, it's Ok too. But to Create it never give me my shell back ! Better, after the create try, it freeze all disk command like pvdisplay, or mdadm --detail /dev/md0 All this command was just blocked ! I show you what i read in kern.log : [ 960.508752] INFO: task arrayprobe:9011 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
