Hi, I've to start working on a new server right now that should use ataraid for RAID mirroring but the customer shipped a box with only one disk and the second one won't arrive soon for many reasons. I know ataraid can't build a RAID mirror without two disks and I've already checked both atacontrol.c and ata-raid.c. It's clear it needs two disks and I'm no guru to do anything about it right now since the disk would arrive before I had done any coding. But I'd like to ask if it'd theoretically be possible to create the RAID1 array (ar0) with only one disk and add the second one later? It'd work like a broken array for some time. It's just an idea :) Thanks, -- Giovanni P. Tirloni
