make that work. If that works, I'll get rid of it and try recreating the RAID1 with one good disk and the one that mdadm thinks is faulty. Hopefully that will show me whether I have a hardware problem or a software one. Jeff

I ran badblocks on the three drive components and, surprise, surprise, /dev/sdc came up faulty. I think I'll just build the two non-faulty drives as a RAID0 array until the hard drive prices come back down to pre-Thailand flood prices and backup regularly. Thanks for all the help. Jeff

[gentoo-user] ntpd crashing

Hi, Can anyone give me any pointers as to how to diagnose a problem with ntpd crashing. My time keeps defaulting to 5 hours earlier than it should. There's nothing in dmesg when I do dmesg | grep time, or dmesg | grep ntp, but /etc/init.d/ntpd status tells me that ntpd has crashed. Jeff

This is true, however it's a temporary measure only, and I have backups. Once the prices drop again, I'll buy another 1.5TB disk and convert back to a RAID5. On Tue, 2012-01-10 at 13:14 +0700, Pandu Poluan wrote: > > On Jan 10, 2012 8:48 AM, "Jeff Cranmer" > wrot

lt 'control' entry. There is a /dev/md0 item already listed, but presently when I try to mount it, it reports that it is unable to read the superblock. Would the command above fix this? Where is the config file mentioned in your e-mail, and do I need to edit it first to add the three raid disks? Thanks Jeff
