I am running smp amd64 gentoo with md compiled into the kernel, a pair of 250gb sata hard drives in a software raid 1
cat /proc/mdstat says everything is up and up
The swap space, for stability purposes is raided as well. Partition types are all raid autodetect.
Ignore the commented lines, they are incorrect
Raidtab:
Code:
# /boot (RAID 1)
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 32
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 1
# / (RAID 1)
raiddev /dev/md2

nr-raid-disks 2

# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).

Why does the kernel panic when the drive (either one) is unplugged instead of continuing to run as it should?
