<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi list,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>just a question. I set up raid 1 on both a red hat
9 and a slackware 9.1 system, and I noticed differences when rebuilding arrays.
I was testing a failure recovery and when the disk is replaced and the
partitions rebuilt, I run raidhotadd /dev/md1 /dev/hdc2 for ex. then in
the slackware distro, typing cat /proc/mdstat I can monitor the process of
rebuilding the array, I get the percentage of reconstruction. In red hat
instead, I see the disk as spare, and still one disk missing. Then after a while
and some reboots, I can see the disk in the array and no missing disks. I just
wondered wether this is normal and I just have to wait till I can cat
/proc/mdstat and see everything is fine, or there is actually a way to monitor
the process during the reconstruction of the array.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would really appreciate any suggestion, cause I'm
now building a samba server and I have to choose between this 2
distros.</FONT></DIV>
