Is there a simple method for changing the configuration of md before I
switch the slave drive to be the slave on the secondary controller?

I think they will pair up automatically if you shut down cleanly
and move the connector.  If not, just 'mdadm --add' it back after
it comes up with a missing member.  If you have to add it back,
the drives will have to resync so there is a small risk of
failure during the process.

great thanks - am I right in thinking that having both mirrored drives
on the same controller master/slave is likely a cause of slowness?
It will make some difference on writes, but reads should only
be done on one of the drives anyway.  I doubt if it makes a huge
difference unless you have an application writing all the time.

here's my problem - system was ok and mother board died. Purchased a new
motherboard and this is what I get...

# hdparm -t /dev/md1

/dev/md1:
 Timing buffered disk reads:    4 MB in  3.68 seconds =   1.09 MB/sec

which is dreadfully slow

Thanks

Craig
