RAID Munging Question



Once the fire department left...  Just kidding.  The
system hung and we power-cycled it.  On the upside,
it came back up just fine, no data lost, mirror & ext3
filesystems up to the challenge.  We then shutdown,
plugged the drive back in (to simulate replacing a
failed drive with a new one).  When the system came
back up, we used the 'raidhotadd' command to sync it
into the remaining mirror.  Had it been a hot-swap
SCSI disk, we could have done the whole thing without
the system going down at all.   Cool!
