Hello, I'm facing this problem: when my Linux box detects a POWER FAIL event from the UPS, it starts a normal shutdown. Just before the normal kernel poweroff, it sends to the UPS a signal on the serial line which says "cut-off the power to the server and switch-off the UPS". This is required to reboot the server as soon as the power is restored. The problem is that the root partition is on top of a RAID-1 filesystem which is still mounted when the program that kills the power is run, so the system goes down with a non clean RAID volume. What can be the proper action to do before killing the power to ensure that RAID will remain clean? It seems that remounting the partition read-only is not sufficient. -- Niccolo Rigacci Firenze - Italy Iraq, missione di pace: 38475 morti - www.iraqbodycount.net - 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
