But why not just use the Install/Repair CD and partition your new sda properly, and make sda5 type swap again?
Both sdb and sdc are fully partitioned in the hardware raid with:
/dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part1 69972 15457 50902 24% /boot /dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part2 20641788 5114476 14478672 27% / /dev/mapper/nvidia_haheegdb_part3 219648612 12348660 196142408 6% /home
What does any of that have to do with sda?
Aaron, sda was experiencing unrecoverable disc errors. It was dying and had to be replaced. That's what started this thread. The raid above doesn't contain swap and I didn't want to just remove sda and risk screwing up the raid created out of sdb and sdc by trying to repartition the discs in the raid array to try and shoehorn a swap partition on them. The downside is rebuilding the entire system again if something goes wrong and I don't have the time to jack with it. I'm not just talking about reloading the system, I'm talking about dhcp dyn dns postfix procmail mysql etc.. It may be easy and the partitioning may work, but it was a whole lot easier just to put a healthy sda in create swap and go... -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
