How to rebuild a damaged raid 1 array?
 

hi,

i'm running redhat linux and i'm using a software raid level 1 with 2 harddisks (ide disks) mirrroring each other.

now i think one of my harddisks fails because i run this command "lsraid" and it showed the below message:

root# lsraid -a /dev/md0

/dev/md0 online
/dev/hda0 good
(unknown) missing

------------------------

so i want to know how can i reconstruct my raid 1 array? i mean if one of my harddisk really fails then i will replace with a new one but what are the steps that i should do to rebuild my raid 1?

i'm really new to this one.


Thanks,

Do a cat /proc/mdstat and it will print off all of your raid devices.

To rebuild one, depending on if its being used/busy or not, you can do a:

/sbin/raidhotadd

man raidhotadd for more details.
