hi all, after getting my raid1 to work using ata software raid, i tried booting with one disk alone and again with both. some attempts for automatic recovery were made, but all failed due to non-existence of spare-disks. after hotadding the "idle" disk again, everything worked as expected. my question now is: is there any way to automate that process? i have some compaq raid-system at work and i can even clone the entire system onto an unformatted drive simply by putting it into the array. this is extremely usefull! i would be very glad to figure a way to do the same with sofware raid, since i could leave systems with clients this way and if any disk should fail, all he would have to do is putting a new one into the slot. my regards, /jc
