The problem is solved in the following way: - checking all cables and power-connectors -> no success =3D> hda has b= ad sectors - booting with a rescue cd based on gentoo - synching again: it runs with errors but completes - removing hda3 from the array md1 - check reiserfs on md1 =3D> errors and the hint to use --rebuild-tree - backup as much as possible from md1 unsing rsync -> works, only a few= files can't be read - running reiserfsck on md1 with build-tree =3D> success - hoping that I get a new hard-disk in short time :-) Thanks again Karsten By the way: is it possible to make a raid1 array SMALLER? I found hints howto get it bigger and the way seems very easy, but to shrink it? Reason: When I set up the server I have some people beh= ind me, who mostly say: can't it be faster? - so I accepted the partions = which are recommended by Suse (and which are not really suitable for my needs) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
