alright, I've finally gotten around to replacing the failed drive (I know, I know, should've done this as soon as it failed, but I've been so busy I hadn't had a chance until now). Anyway, the drive that failed was a 160 gig Maxtor IDE, so I purchased another 160 gig Maxtor drive to replace it, but I couldn't get the exact same drive, I ordered the closest thing I could find. I was just trying to copy over the partition table from the working drive (hda) to the new drive (hdc) by using:
If it's high availabilty system or sth. and you can't down the machine .etc. you could add one random-size disk - let's say 80 GB and create an lvm group (hdc and new disk hdx ) to fit into an array with hda. very simple . otherwise i would do what you said. -- Wojciech Ziniewicz | jid:zeth@chrome.pl http://silenceproject.org | http://zetho.wordpress.com
