For a > RAID1 array, how will I know if it goes bad ? If a disk in a RAID1 goes bad, the driver will continue to use the good half of the mirror, and log the fact that the mirror is now in degraded mode. You can then use atacontrol to detach the disk, add a new one, and use atacontrol to rebuild the array, all without having to take down the machine. If the last good disk fail, the driver will log that the array is broken, and return error on all accesses... And yes I'll add a get status/mode command :) -Søren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
