Greetings, I have a Redhat 5.2 box running raidtools-0.50beta10-2, which appears to be the latest release of that from the vendor. One of the disks appears to be in the process of dying slowly; every few weeks causing scsi bus lockups with ext-2 error messages on console pointing to scsi id2. The md devices, unfortunately, are RAID0, instead of a more fault tolerant setup. (Of course...) My question is using ckraid or some other raidtool method add a disk, force it to copy the md partitions over and then fail the bad drive out ? If not, is it possible for me to go to single user, shut down all md functions and dd the entire failing drive to a drive of the same geometry ? (Luckily, I have several of those laying around.) I've been searching high and low for an answer and either it doesn't exist or I couldn't find it in the S/N ratio on the web, even from Google. Any suggestions are most definitely appreciated.
