Hello,
I recently changed my configuration to use Redhat 7.1 from 1 IDE drive to
use 2 drives by using RAID 1 mirroring. Everything is working fine, RAID1 is
constantly mirroring hda on hdd:
[root@mail /root]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [multipath]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md1 : active raid1 hdd1[1] hda1[0]
104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 hdd2[1]
2104448 blocks [2/1] [_U]
md2 : active raid1 hdd5[1] hda5[0]
1574272 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md3 : active raid1 hdd6[1] hda6[0]
1052160 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md4 : active raid1 hdd7[1] hda7[0]
787072 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
[root@mail /root]#
To test when drive hda failes I rebooted the machine and plugged the IDE
cable of hda out. The machine wasn't booting anymore.
After searching on google I saw there was an issue with lilo see the URL
below for details:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22software+raid+1%22+not+booting&start=20
&hl=nl&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=kb74nt4ksln6lt53611m6kcgoi1kqht15d%404ax.c
om&rnum=25
My question to the redhat developers, ofcourse when they they can confirm
this bug. Why is a newer version of Lilo included in Redhat 8.0 but not the
version that solved this bug. I saw Redhat 8.0 for now uses version:
lilo-21.4.4-20
All comment is welcome
Jeroen
