Re: [opensuse] /dev/md0 borked, can't mdadm --stop it, can't swapon/dev/md0
Maybe is something hasn't yet been implemented. About 1.5 years ago you could not have two swap partitions and suspend; now you can. You could not have /boot on raid, now you can. Perhaps raid on swap will allow suspending in the future. Not now.

Ah, to the best of my knowledge, /boot on raid-1 worked fine, for years. . . ( because the only difference between raid-1 partition and normal ( ext3, reiserfs, whatever ) partition was the signature-thingy at the end of it: just set lilo to boot from one of the partitions /underlying/ raid-1, and it'd do fine. For redundancy, do it for each of the raid-1 components, and install lilo on every single device's mbr, as well as some other device, like a diskette. I suspect that grub on raid-1 would have required boot from /dev/sda3 ( or some such ) alternate boot from /dev/sdb3 ( redundancy is a /good/ thing ) root=/dev/md2 ( raid-1 ) . . then it'd have worked fine. . . The only problem with that was when the death of a device caused the BIOS to re-name all the devices: /then/ you couldn't boot ( using the lilo method -- been there ). . . . . . been messing with Linux for 12 years . . . ( & been begging suse to nice-ify all system-level cron-type stuff for a damn decade! What's with the DoS periodically implemented with the zypp/zypp-wrapper checking for new updates thingy?!?? Why not nice it?? idiocy! ) Cheers, -Antryg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
