Re: Promise Fasttrack 100
The RAID1 function works fine until I remove one of the disk to
simulate a disk failure. I then get all these failure messages on the
console, the system doesn`t seem to be stuck, but actually I can't
start any program and I have no other choice than do a power off/on to
reboot the server. What seems strange to me is that I see the raid
controller on /dev/ataraid/dp0 but I also see the individual disk on
/dev/hde and /dev/hdg. When using RedHat I only saw the raid controller
on /dev/sda but I was then using the closed source driver from Promise
Perhaps there is some options to append at boot time to avoid the
system from detecting the individual disk or something else?

Did the RAID function of the controller actually work?

Hi,
I'm planning on migrating my servers from Redhat to Debian. The
servers are Gigabyte with Promise Fasttrack 100 card for IDE Raid
Support. The installation of woody went ok using the bf2.4 boot
floppies.
But when I removed a disk to simulate a disk failure on my raid1
array, it began to complain on hde missing, and lots lots of
input/output error. Even if I could still have a shell on the server,
I couldn't do much apart from powering off and on the server to
reboot it.
Has anyone seen this problem and has a solution for it ?
Regards
