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.

Thanks,
Jeremy
