I recently installed FC3 on a machine that had been working with FC1 with software RAID1 between an internal 250gig IDE drive and a matching drive in an USB/firewire case (using firewire). I was hoping that FC3 would detect the firewire drive at bootup in time to connect the raid devices instead of having to re-sync later. However, not only does it not see the drive at all during a reboot (but it will when hot-plugged later), when the system is running with the raid connected it will crash after some random amount of time, so far not exceeding a day. Is this a known problem? I haven't been able to find anything that sounds like exactly like this, and it may or may not be related to the filesystem on the raid being reiserfs. So far, by the time I've noticed the machine being hung the screen has been blanked and nothing is being logged so I don't have much to go on except that it is stable with the firewire drive missing from the raid. -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
