Scenario:
1. Simple 2 disk RAID1
2. Disk 0 fails
3. Bring machine down and replace disk (same SCSI id as old one)
4. Boot hangs on raidstart with "/dev/md1: invalid argument" error
I can fix the problem by switching disks in /etc/raidtab, ie by making the
old disk1 disk0, then the array starts fine in degraded mode and I can go
from there.
I am running kernel 2.4.2 (old, I know). Is this likely to have been fixed in
more recent kernels?

Linux and open source do threaten Microsoft at the server operating
system level. But even more dangerous, the open source model threatens
the core business strategy of Microsoft - domination, monopoly, total
control and restricted consumer choices. History has shown that hegemonists
and those who restrict freedom ultimately fail. Microsoft is on the wrong
side of history.
