I don't mind giving higher CPU priority, since in many cases the boxes I am using have lots more CPU than is being used most of the time. Secondly: With a software RAID5 setup, with disks in removable hot-swap trays, I want to be able to pull a failed disk and replace it and have it then rebuild. Problem is, when I pull the disk I get lots of error messages, and then when I replace it there is nothing happening to redetect that the disk is changed, and allow me to rebuild. If I reboot then the machine does resync with the new drive, but surely there must be a way without a reboot? Thanks all for suggestions and info! With our best regards, Maurice W.
