Iīm currently trying to decide upon a sultion on how to go about keepin my data safe. Now, a RAID1 setup sounds good in this position. But I canīt seem to find an answer to one question. Letīs say that I have 2x 120Gb (ad1 and ad2) disk. I stripe them wich should give something like /dev/stripe/foo (either with gstripe or a hardware raid controler.) Now I fill this striped volume with data, and ad1 dies. What happenīs ? Does gstripe alert my that ad1 has died and will I still be able to access /dev/stripe/foo ? And when I shut the box down, remove ad1 and insert another (identical disk) to restore the stripe, what then ? (assume the same bus ofcourse) I have tryed to google this up but to no avail. Any help is well appriceated. With kind regards, Thordur I. PS: CC my for Iīm not on the list. (Btw, do list members consider this a bother for if so I would just subscripe to the list (currently though Iīm supscried to what I think are to many lists :))
