Hello: My dmraid array occasionally runs only with one hard disk, since one of the disks is not recognized at boot. For this reason I would like the OS to check the existence of both of the hard disks during bootup and if it can't find one of them it should not finsih booting but restart the computer, before mounting the RAID array. I thought that a small script could go somewhere in /etc/init.d but I don't know where and how to name it or activate it. How could I do it? Thanks, Istvan PS: A more detailed explanation for those who are interested: I have a system with BIOS RAID1. Two indentical SATA hard disk are connected to a Silicon Image 3114 (SiI 3114) PCI card RAID controller. This works well with linux dmraid, but: Occasionally (for an unknown reason to me) one of the hard disk is not recognized by the RAID card when the computer is turned on, and opensuse boots up as if the disk was missing. This means that only one of the disks operates during the session as a complete RAID device. With different terms, the OS even does not know that there is a problem with the RAID array, however the array consist of only one disk instead of two. This leads to discrepancy between the disks content and I have to rebuild the array after such an event. On a long term I want to replace the RAID array to either sofware RAID or change the RAID card or motherbord. But in the meantime I would like to fix this issue. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
