RE: [cobalt-users] Raq4i or Raq4r

["Michelle Hall-Jones" <support@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gerald

any reason why I cannot see if the raid is active

when I type the following I get
<snip>
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [translucent]
read_ahead not set
unused devices: <none>
<snip>

whereas you get the following
cat /proc/mdstat If raid is active you will se comething like this;
md1 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0] 2048128 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md3 : active raid1 hdc3[1] hda3[0] 1024064 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md4 : active raid1 hdc4[1] hda4[0] 16216128 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md6 : active raid1 hdc6[1] hda6[0] 231744 blocks [2/2] [UU]

look forward to your response
regards
Michelle

run  cat /etc/fstab
see if the disk is mounted.
Did you strap it as a Master? If so it will be hdc else it will be hdd
also run  cat /proc/mdstat If raid is active you will se comething like
this;
md1 : active raid1 hdc1[1] hda1[0] 2048128 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md3 : active raid1 hdc3[1] hda3[0] 1024064 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md4 : active raid1 hdc4[1] hda4[0] 16216128 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md6 : active raid1 hdc6[1] hda6[0] 231744 blocks [2/2] [UU]

note the hdc1[1] hda1[0]

If you just want to add more storage, you may have to add the drive
manually.
If you need help come back to the list...
