Re: transferring RAID-1 drives via sneakernet
I just finished the transfer and it went great. Thanks for all the advice. I went with the assemble-by-uuid approach in /etc/mdadm.conf which did very well. Especially since drive letters danced around quite a bit between reboots. One of the disks died during transit, and the redundancy part of RAID earned its keep. The only thing I didn't figure out was SATA hotplug. The SATA controller (an Areca 1230 in JBOD mode) happily noticed when a drive was hotplugged into a port. But Linux didn't seem to notice. I was using cfdisk to probe. Is there a particular command needed to convince Linux to look around and see if there are any new SATA devices?

Hi I don't see evidence of Neil's patch in 2.6.24, so I applied it by hand on my server. I applied all 4 pending patches to .24. It's been better than .22 and .23... Unfortunately the bitmap and rai1 patch don't go in .22.16. Neil, have these been sent up against 24-stable and 23-stable? .. and .22-stable ? Also, is this a xfs-on-raid5 bug or would it also happen with ext3-on-raid5 ? regards Burkhard - 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
