Hi,
I have a friend with a RAID 1 (mirroring) and a drive that's dying.
I went to yank the drive and tried to add another, but the system
wouldn't boot. I then added the extra drive as a third disk in the
SCSI chain and booted. Then I tried to remove the second drive
using some instructions with mdadm, but the system refused to
remove the drive. Something about resources inaccessible or
something.
I have a set of other instructions discussing raidhotadd, but
that utility isn't in the system. A guess of
"yum install raidtools" didn't help either. So before I spend
an hour looking around ftp sites and blogs, can anyone tell
me what package I need for this utility?
Thanks,
