[techtalk] installing RAID controller on existing RedHat 6.2 system
hey folks, Anyone have any tips regarding taking an existing RedHat 6.2 server and adding a RAID controller to it? I've got the driver loading (I think) but when I boot, I only see my original disk. How do I tell RH that there's a whole new giant space that it can use now? I can't seem to find any reference that the system is acknowledging the new array... Or do I have to reinstall everything?? I've never done RAID on Linux beforeat least not to a pre-existing system... If it matters, I've got the Adaptec 2100s PCI controller. Anyway, any tips at this current too-much-coffee-woman hour would be much appreciated befuddled, Naomi ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

I can't remember what the current charter for this list is, but I think it covers both types of questions: specific questions about using and setting up systems and the more meta-type of technical questions (the sort Mary mentioned above). Try asking those sort of questions on here and see what happens. There would likely be many people who will venture opinions and the threads are likely to be longer, since there will be less in the way of cut-and-dried answers, as there are to "how do I setup program foo". To my mind, those are all interesting of questions, since I'm interested in hearing what other people say.

Most of what I see on it is "I have problem X, can you solve?" Perhaps that's what you meant by 'technical issues', sorry. And that's an OK thing for a mailing list to be of course. But when I first read the term "technical issues" I thought about a list where topics of discussion were more: what's a good design for an SMTP program? when's a good time for a program to enter release 1.0? (Both questions I've faced recently.) Has this ever occured on techtalk? I'd love to see a list about broader technical issues, and one in this community would be really good. At the same time a 'help me please' list is also good. Could both discussions occur on the same list or should there be separate lists? Mary. Cross-posted to techtalk, but I have no idea if the thread belongs on techtalk - make your own call when replying. -- Mary Gardiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG Key ID: 77625870 ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
