upgrading a raid kernel

2000-07-11 Thread Dirk Bonenkamp - Bean IT
Hi all, I want to upgrade a machine running 2.2.10 kernel running software raid to 2.2.16. I only found raid patches ending with 2.2.11 (ftp.fi.kernel.org), will this work on 2.2.16?? And, is patching and installing the new kernel enough to get things working? (I guess so, raid devices are

Hi Martin, When I changed to "failed-disk 1" it works, even if I have to use the undocumented special force. Thank you for your help! Now my /proc/mdstat says: # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid1 hda1[0] 64128 blocks

Hi Hugh, I got the help with the failed-disk as you should see in my previous reply to the list. I sent a subscribtion mail on 3rd of July and I got a reply from majordomo like below. I guess the problems is that my header-lines and my requested email address don't match. We are changing the

Yo All! I have had problems with crashes since 2.3.99pre3 so I have been trying all the new kernels. Just tried 2.4.0-test3. It fails in kernel/timer.c unless I have SMP enabled. Then it fails in our beloved md.c. Looks like someone changed "priority" to "nice" in the task_struct. So I
