i was testing out software raid on linux 7.3 with sistina LVM installed. i had a raid 1 mirror with two drives, and one of the drives failed (i pulled the power on it), then i pluged it back in, rebooted, ran fdisk -l to make sure linux could see the drive (it did), then tried running fdisk again to create the partitions on the drive, then rebooted, then ran 'raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/sdb', rebooted, then my entire system was gone, both drives had corrupted filesystem. my question is this: since there is no man pages for raidhotadd (stupid), how the heck do i read about how this software raid works so i dont blow away a "real" system! also, if i add my system drives to the LVM, can it still be in a raid 1? thanks in adavance, alex --- --- Alex Lazarevich | Systems | Imaging Technology Group alazarev@itg.uiuc.edu | (217)244-1565 | www.itg.uiuc.edu --- --- _______________________________________________ linux-lvm mailing list linux-lvm@sistina.com http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm read the LVM HOW-TO at http://www.sistina.com/lvm/Pages/howto.html
