Hi, I have Linux Redhat 7.3 configured with software raid1. I removed second disk from all mirror raids. Now, lilo quits without showing any error messaes. If I add second disk to raid for /boot, then lilo will start working fine again. My questions are: 1. How can I change my raid1 configuration to have only 1 disk and working without any problem? 2. How can I change raid1 to non-raid? Thank you for your help Mehrdad. ========================== [root@linux ]# strace lilo -t execve("/sbin/lilo", ["lilo", "-t"], [/* 27 vars */]) = 0 uname({sys="Linux", node="linux", ...}) = 0 brk(0) = 0x8058b04 .... .... open("/dev/md0", 0x4) = 4 fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(9, 0), ...}) = 0 ioctl(4, 0x80480911, 0xbfffea40) = 0 ioctl(4, 0x80140912, 0xbfffea20) = 0 _exit(0) = ? ===================== [root@linux ]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid1 sda1[1] 513984 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 sda2[1] 34828800 blocks [2/1] [_U] md2 : active raid1 sda3[1] 570240 blocks [2/1] [_U] ===================== [root@linux ]# cat /etc/raidtab raiddev /dev/md1 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 1 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/sda2 raid-disk 0 raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 1 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/sda1 raid-disk 0 raiddev /dev/md2 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 1 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/sda3 raid-disk 0 ==================== - 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
