Hello, I have a redhat box with Hardware Raid. Below ar ethe outputs of various files/commands. Please let me know whether there is anything wrong. I think there might be some problem in md0, but I am not very sure. Somone told me that since the box runs hardware the md-status does not matter. What does the "[UU]" mean in mdstat ? In md0, one U is missing. What should I do next ? Kindly help me. Regards, Vijay Kumar.
