Re: is my raid1 array really working??

[harland christofferson <debian-user@audubonstrings.com>]

okay, this is what i have done:

# umount /dev/hdc8
# mdadm /dev/md4 --fail /dev/hdc8
# mdadm /dev/md4 --remove /dev/hdc8
# mdadm /dev/md4 --add /dev/hdc8

cat-ed /proc/mdstat and see that it is resynching ...
good news.

now, part two of your suggestion ... unmounting
/dev/hdaX partitions, editing fstab, and remounting.

won't this cause my system to go belly up?
