Hello,
First of all I would like to
thank and appreciate the effort that has been put in developing dmraid.
Our company has a backup
server which contains a FastTrack TX2000 board and 2 HotSwap Trays. The two
drives in the trays form a Raid1 array.
Before, we used a 2.4 kernel and the
proprietary Promise drivers. This allowed us regularly to hotswap one of the
drives for offsite storage purposes. When the devices where synchronized the
tray leds where green, after the hotswap the leds became amber for 1 minute and
finally they started to blink green when the array was synchronized with the
new drive.
Seeing dmraid support we
switched to the much more new 2.6 linux kernel. The array seems fine except the
leds are amber all the time. Also hotswap of one of the drives just blocks the
system. We have tried unmounting and using hdparm -b but an error saying operation is not permitted
appears.
Thank you for your help
