problem with superblock

2000-06-27 Thread Anton
are flashing green. I am pretty new to this so I wanted some advice on how to proceed... assuming sdb1 is not physically damaged, can I run raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 ? What is a good way to tell if a disk is damaged? And is how do you map names like sdb1 to the physical disk? Thanks, -- Anton

I've had this problem. It was due to that disk being damaged. I suggest you do a scan on that disk with the scsi utility of your controller. If it reports bad sectors and such, swap the disk, create the linux raid partition on it and hot swap it in, as described in the HOWTO -- ai

raid and 2.4 kernels

2000-07-26 Thread Anton
do the kernel developers responsible for RAID read this list? I would be interested in seeing some constructive discussion about the reports of degraded RAID performance in the 2.4 kernels. It is particularly disappointing given that SMP appears to be a lot better in 2.4 vs 2.2 -- ai

bigger disks

Suppose I have a SW RAID5 over 5 disks, 9.1 G each We are getting to a point where we need more space, but the box has no more space. So I am wondering how I might go about upgrading the disks to bigger capacity volumes. Suppose I insert bigger disks one by one and let the array reconstruct.
