I have a machine with Suse 10.0 running with raid 1. One of the disks died, and I wanted to backup the other disk before I installed the new disk to replace the old. Suse was working fine until I executed the tar command to backup the drive excluding /tmp, /proc, and one other I don't recall now.
I bet no help to you...but- It's not like the data isn't on the first drive... I can't speak for rebuilding a RAID on Linux as I haven't came to that point yet, but on our OSX servers, we just replace the drive and rebuild the raid without missing a beat in the background...should be the same idea in this situation. Folks in OSX land do it via CLI. I'm not that savy... They do something like: diskutil enableRAID mirror disk0 then diskutil repairMirror (RAID device name) (Bad slice) (Good member) (New member) Must be something on that line... You didn't say if it's the slave or master. *If softraid.com ever comes out with a Linux raid, grab it! They have a very, very nice set up. Sorry I couldn't be exact- good luck. -- Thanks, George ``One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know,``''Animal Crackers,'' 1930.
