Hi, Subject says it really. Two hot swap disks are added to a system 700 km from here, and shall configure the disks. They are in a Compaq machine with a Compaq Smart Array 431 controller. It has two (mirrored) disk already, and this is the dmesg after last reboot: ... ida0: <Compaq Smart Array 431 controller> port 0x4000-0x40ff mem 0xc6fff000-0xc6ffffff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci3 ida0: drives=1 firm_rev=1.02 idad0: <Compaq Logical Drive> on ida0 idad0: 17343MB (35520480 sectors), blocksize=512 ... Question is, can I configure a RAID setup for the two added disks while the system is running? This machine i supposed to be up 24-7, apart from the fact that it is pretty far away :) I don't know where to start, camcontrol devlist reveals nothing: # camcontrol devlist # Thanks for any input, Palle
