RAID info
Partly for my own reference :-) this is a rather useful page I found on RAID5 on Ubuntu:
http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188
But my RAID isn't automounting. This is my config file:
lproven@lilmesh:~$ cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=83287c83:7bd8c43e:c550bdfc:77fd6b91
(Isn't SSH wonderful? I'm typing on a Linux laptop on my new home WLAN, SSHed into the server beside me so that I can copy&paste. Small things still please me. SSH, wireless, Linux laptops... Why I could almost be mistaken for being up-to-date technologically if it all wasn't such old hardware that I acquired for free!)
Anyway, this is how my RAID looks on bootup:
lproven@lilmesh:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities :
unused devices:
In other words, zilch.
Now, it looks like, according to a comment on that page I linked, I might have to "dpkg-reconfigure mdadm" to get auto-assembly to work. Pretty sure I didn't have to do that last time. I'm trying that right now. It's taking a loooooong time to rebuild the initrd.
P.S. Ethernet sorted with static address. Am leaving fonts alone for now as I have a satisfactory solution! I've re-added my AHA1542 SCSI card. The RAID card was nabbing its IRQ, so I've reserved IRQ10 in the BIOS, and a reboot later, I can add it with MODCONF. So now, the machine has SCSI, too.
