Hello, All: I've been a bit surprised by the complete failure of our system when one half of a mirror failed so I suppose that I should verify that I understand RAID1's failover methodology: Is the purpose of the mirror only to preserve the data or is it to allow the system to continue operating until a replacement can be installed? (i.e., If one half of a mirror fails, shouldn't the system continue operating normally?) -- Eric P., Truckee, CA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
