Nice to hear you use it for raid. For what raid level I have to ask? Can you rebuild raid-5 volume online without destroying filesystem? I didn't 1,5 month ago, the trick was to umount filesystem first to leave volume in quiescent state while rebuilding, otherwise filesystem got corrupted. I'm going to seek for spare SCSI disks now, to prove it again. I'll be glad if this is fixed. -- Vallo Kallaste kalts@estpak.ee To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
