Hello everyone. I've got a SLES9 SP3 running and I've been quite happy with it so far. Recently, I've created a 4 disk spanning RAID-5 on our company server. Runs quite nice and we're happy with that too. I created that RAID using the SLES mdadm (1.4 I believe) package. After discovering that there is a much newer mdadm out here (2.6.1), I decided to upgrade. It went just fine. Raid still running at 120 MB/sec. After adding a disk to the raid, which went fine as well...... BUT: The added disk /dev/sda1 shows up in /proc/mdstat, but does not have the "spare (s)" flag. Plus... the --grow doesn't work... I get the: mdadm: /dev/md0: Cannot get array details from sysfs error which has been discussed before. Can it be that this is caused by the 2.6.5-7.2xx Kernel? Any ideas? regards, Thorsten -- Contact me on ICQ: 7656468 skype://sysfried GMX FreeMail: 1 GB Postfach, 5 E-Mail-Adressen, 10 Free SMS.
