Ok, first off I think I'm way outa my league posting here. I'm a fedora user, currently using fedora 6. I have one of those FakeRaid systems, specifically NVidia raid on an Asus M2V-MX motherboard. So I thought I'd give it a try, which by the way went smooth as silk to setup a Raid1 mirror and install FC6. I was so happy! Problem is, I cant leave well enough alone. I just had to know if it would work if I unplugged a drive. I did this while linux was up and running, froze the system for a few seconds then gave me a bunch of errors on the console. Fine, though, I thought so long as it keeps running I'm ok. Only it didnt, I listed a directory and the thing finally hung. So then I thought, dont be discouraged, lets just reboot with one drive missing and see if a "degraded" raid mirror would boot and FC6/dmraid would do the right stuff. Nope, hangs almost immediately after loading initrd. Looks like its unhappy cause it knows one of the physical drive is missing. So now I'm thinking I just dont know what I should be expecting out of a mirror raid, or maybe there is a way to tell the kernel to load with a degraded mirror by editing the kernel line? I've been reading all sorts of stuff and hunting for some guidance but nothing so far. So I found this list, and well, you know what follows when that happens e.g. a newby post. So please please please, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
