Thanks Seth!
I dug through the linux-raid archives last night and found the answer
too. Got everything resynced last night.
I am using RH 6.1 2.2.12-20 with a Promise EIDE-MaxII with 3 Maxtor
51536U3 ide drives; 2 of these drives on Promise card, and 3rd on
secondary of motherboard. All seems to be working well. Total cost:
150*3 + 26 = 476 dollars for 30Gig of RAID5.
/dev/md0 -> /dev/hdc1 /dev/hde1 /dev/hdg1 mounted as /usr
/dev/md1 -> /dev/hdc5 /dev/hde5 /dev/hdg5 mounted as /home
/dev/md2 -> /dev/hdc6 /dev/hde6 /dev/hdg6 mounted as /usr1
I have a SOHO and am using the RAID5 as a "network appliance".
/usr1/xtools exported as nfs and SAMBA - contains Solaris and win32
cross development tools.
/usr1/rtosdev exported as nfs and SAMBA - contains development code
/home exported as nfs and SAMBA - misc and NIS home directory
Has anyone seen any problems in long term use of linux RAID5 in this or
any other environment?
Regards,
Doug Egan
