David I am grateful that you were there for me.
No probs - we've all been there!
My assessment (correct me if I am wrong) is that I have to rethink my architecture. As I continue to work with software raid, I likely will have to move the postgresql database to a separate partition, so I will not have mixing of points of failure.Well, once things are calmer, post your layout and new thinking and I'm sure people will input.
Amongst other things, mdadm can allow you to keep 1 or more hot spares in a system that you can 'share' between multiple raid1 mirrors.
This kind of trick (learnt by hanging out here) may be the answer to muliple failures.
David PS don't forget the mdadm upgrade. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
