Until a drive actually fails. Then it's not so much. How do you get out of this swamp? What are the steps to take out a dead drive, stuff in a brand new identical disk drive, and get the Raid back going again? In my case, the system still boots, and has /, /boot, and /u as three Raid1 filesystems. Each filesystem is running degraded. Let's presume my 2nd drive is toast, and I've got a replacement. What are the steps? Seems like I can't do anything with mdadm while it's up, because the drives are busy. In my case, we can assume it's either Core 6 or Core 7 - This all happened when I was cloning drives to test upgrading from 6 to 7. Neal Rhodes MNOP Ltd. </BODY> </HTML>
