Hi, I want to set up a software raid 5 system on Red Hat 8. Although I believe the parity data is computed correctly initially, I wonder how one can make sure the parity data will be always correct. 1) Is there a utility to allow me to check parity routinley? 2) How are the parity block redistributed when you add another disk to raid 5 system? Thank you in advance for any advice, Mira - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
