Hey all, If I have the following setup: - Kernel 2.4.18 - 2 x Western Digital 80GB IDE Drives - RAID 1 setup through Promise BIOS. - ataraid.o and pdcraid.o loaded at startup. - Formatted /dev/ataraid/d0p0 as FAT32. - Mounted /dev/ataraid/d0p0 on /mnt/raid Now here is the scenario: 1. A file is created on /mnt/raid (say "cp /var/log/messages /mnt/raid") 2. The power is switched off on the box a point such that the FATs (File Allocation Tables) are out of sync. My question is: How can DOSFSCK fix the raid array (/dev/ataraid/d0p0)? Since the FATS are out of sync and that reads are balanced across the disks, when dosfsck try's to read the FATs to find out what state they are in, it will get different FATs each time it is run. This could cause it to further stuff-up the FATs. Has anyone had any experience with this? Mike.
