Ive got an old Dell 4400 box with an old PERC2 RAID controller. Looks like we've had a drive failure and the docs and stuff are long gone on this machine. Before my time. Machine is still running happily but I dont know which partition this drive is part of. / and /usr are RAID1 /var is RAID1 /var/mail is RAID5 with 1 hotstandby. I think its probably part of /var/mail as those drives are 18GB and /var/mail is quite a large partition. Ive not had a drive fail in a raid config before. Whats going to happen when I reboot this machine? From the docs Ive found online for this machine it has hot swap drives but Ive not tried it on this machine. What would happen if I pull the drive out since its hotswappable? I dont think Ive got another drive handy at the moment either thats 18GB, only a few 9GB drives. Thanks, Keith.
