I have a raid10 which i wish to expand the idea was to remove 1 disk from the raid and copy the filesystem to this disk and then adapt lilo to boot from this disk.
But it doesn't work. It keeps booting from the raid. I also tried chroot but then lilo exits with a error.
Code:
bash-4.1# mount -t ext2 /dev/sdc3 /mnt/disk
bash-4.1# chroot /mnt/disk
bash-4.1# lilo
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdc3")
Code:
bash-4.1# cat /proc/mdstat
