Aaron,
sda was experiencing unrecoverable disc errors. It was dying and had to
be replaced. That's what started this thread. The raid above doesn't
contain swap and I didn't want to just remove sda and risk screwing up
the raid created out of sdb and sdc by trying to repartition the discs
in the raid array to try and shoehorn a swap partition on them.
The downside is rebuilding the entire system again if something goes
wrong and I don't have the time to jack with it. I'm not just talking
about reloading the system, I'm talking about dhcp dyn dns postfix
procmail mysql etc.. It may be easy and the partitioning may work, but
it was a whole lot easier just to put a healthy sda in create swap and go...
