Listmates, Critical situation. Server running 100G drive. The drive started to fail. Plenty of backups available and I was able to recovered all data to another server. Installed fresh 250G sata drives configured in hardware raid (sdb and sdc). Used the /swap from the failing drive (sda) for install purposes because I didn't was to put swap on the raid. Fresh 10.3 install replacing last mandrake server went fine. Server runs fine, just gives occasional /sda offline errors. Problem, the old drive with /swap is sda, the /swap partition is sda5. The sda drive must be replaced, but how? The question: "Can I just install a new sda, and boot and then partition a new /swap with yast, or, will the boot process freak out when /swap isn't available and cause the boot to fail?" I'm going to try it, but if someone else has done this and has advise to help avoid any "gotchas", I would definitely appreciate a heads up. Thanks! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
