bioctl(8) and ami(4)
I've been breaking and rebuilding my RAID so I know what to do later... I popped out a disk and booted, and the hot spare kicked in. Bioctl nicely showed the status, etc. After everything was good again I rebooted. The drive I'd popped was back in and marked unused. Cool. I used bioctl -H to make it a hot spare with no errors. But bioctl still showed it as unused. Ok, reboot. Same thing. Pulling up the MegaRAID config in BIOS showed the drive as Hot Spare, so bioctl seemed to have actually worked. Go ahead and boot and bioctl still showed it as unused. FYI, this is 3.9-release, amd64 generic MP. Will post dmesg (or anything else) if it'll help, but mostly I'm looking for a cluestick about bioctl. -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD Users Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
