Yep, it does.
I run some cluster and its gLite middleware on Scientific Linux 3.x("flavour" of RHEL 3). Its "/" has been put to software RAID1, the samething you described has happened several times. After reboot (notnecessarily the first one) just about everything in file system revertedto the previous state. Just like after the fresh install, *poof*
Currently I'm using Scientific Linux 4.7 on LVM in the mix with softwareRIAD1. So far so good.
I didn't have time to experiment with software RIAD1 after stuffdisappeared. It had to be installed fast and put into operation, so Ijust abandoned software RAID, and have no clue what was the reason andhow the issue could be solved.
Will be glaв if someone could shed the lite on this.
