Put what you though was 7 back...note that properly determining which device is which is pretty difficult unless you have a commercial grade wired enclosure from a tier 1 vendor that is actually labeled and wired correctly (don't always count on that). I have self wired hot swap enclosures and my method is to read from the array and see which disk does not light up (confirm all others are active) and then cancel that read and go back and read from the bad disk to confirm which device that is, and if I want to be really save cancel that read make sure that disk stops then read again just to confirm I know what is what, no matter what you have, no matter how it is incorrectly labeled/wired this method should always work right. -- 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
