How do you logically remove a partition from a RAID1 array with raidhotremove? I umount'ed the filesystem that was running on the array and I was able to raidhotremove the hot spare partition and raidhotadd it back, but I cannot raidhotremove one of the main array partitions; I get told that the disk is busy, even though the array is not mounted. I can raidstop the array OK, but then raidhotremove tells me that the array is not running. What I am trying to achieve is to remove one of the main array partitions to ensure that the array re-synchs successfully with the hot spare. The only way that I was able to achieve what I wanted was to raidstop the array, edit the /etc/raidtab to use the failed-disk directive and then to mkraid with the --force option (well, the other real option, actually). There has to be a better way - like raidhotremove that works (8-( Pity about the missing man raidhotremove (8-( -- Howard. ____________________________________________________ LANNet Computing Associates <http://lannetlinux.com> "...well, it worked before _you_ touched it!" -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
