Well ... more confused! I posted some messages here before ... after I though the RAID has been rebuilt I tried to shutdown the server. On console I still got massive dumps of the same message, as I posted before. Shutdown was blocked, but I don't know by what, only thing to bring back the server alive was: power cycle. I think that's not in sensu strictu of what we understand when we say hot swap RAID 5? Gruss O.
