I have insured there is limited activity and no users on the machine and pulled the main HDD out. ONLY do this if the HDD's are hot-swapable.
It is the roughest test you can do on a RAID system. BUT if it fails over to the second drive; test one passes. IF after some time passes and activity make changes to that drive, slap the first one back in. IF it sense the drive and starts syncing it; test two passed. Your RAID system works as advertised. Why to I do it that way? When it comes to H/W driven devices and events I don't trust what s/w says. >[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > >> I have Reiser on LVM2 on RAID. >> At least, that's what I tried to set up. >> How can I check that that's what I'm really getting? >> >> Presumably running mount will tell me whether it's really reiser. >> But what can I do to enquire what the logical volumes are made of? >> And whether I' erally getting a RAID instead of just reading and writing >> to one of the physical partitions the RAID-1 is supposed to be made of. > >vgdisplay will tell you what PVs your LVM is using. > >Matthias > > >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with a subject of "unsubscribe".
