Hi,
A new computer arrived at work with 4 160GB SATA disks. I made a
couple of RAID 1 (mirror) with two disks each, and then joined them wih
LVM. Now I have 320GB in my root volume.
My boss asked me to test it, so we all gathered and unplugged the data
cable of one of the disks. I was hoping to see linux making warnings for
Hotplug is not supported yet. Don't do that :)
It isn't hotPLUG -- it's hotUNplug. Happens when drive is dying for
example, or when the cable is flaky, or due to millions of other
reasons... And.. I for one expect linux to react to such a situation
*somehow* - after all, raid is used for this very stuff too, to be
able to continue running a system if one of the drives failed...
