hi guys... i have a damaged disk... i´m using raid1 the computer crashed with the floor :P hihiih sorry, but the disks are damaged at the same position check: http://www.spadim.com.br/hd%20agra.zip the problem: since raid1 (mirror) is done with real mirror, the disk position are the same... if i was using a mirror but on disk 1 i write from beggining to end, and disk 2 from end to beggining , i don´t crash the disk at the same position, for disk 1 i crash it some bytes, for disk 2 i crash some others bytes, since beggining is a small cilinder and end a bigger, i could loose less information than mirror could we implement a 'inverted' mirror? just for hard disks (for ssd it´s a small loss of cpu/memory) thanks -- Roberto Spadim Spadim Technology / SPAEmpresarial -- 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
