Subject: RAID-related: SATA disk removal?
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2006 16:55:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1146239757.10253.122.camel@kenny> (raw)
I am testing a machine with two SATA drives in startech.com removable
caddies. Everything including swap is RAID1. (I'm running x86_64
Scientific Linux 4.2, a RedHat enterprise clone.)
Informal tests suggest that pulling out an active disk causes the whole
machine to hang up but removing a disk from the RAID arrays and pulling
it out gives the message: "nv_sata: Primary device removed" and
everything happily keeps running.
Is this a fair description? In practise do people find that following
the above allows a failed disk to be replaced without shutting down the
machine?
Thanks
John
