RE: RAID setup on Fedora 3.8

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Mike,

Yes thanks; mount reveals md0 as my array setup, so I suppose it is a
software implementation. I pretty much found out the other info using the
mdadm utility but I was still unsure whether it was software or hardware.
Thanks again.
For those interested I found out that the following commands show useful
info:

mdadm --query md0
mdadm --detail md0
cat /etc/mdadm.conf
cat /proc/mdstat

Thanks Mike for replying :)

Khaled

Kind of hard to determine without more information, but if the output of
your mount command shows filesystems such as /dev/md0, that's a software
RAID. If they are something like /dev/cciss/c0d0p0 or /dev/rd/c0d0p0
they are a hardware internal SCSI RAID. I'm not sure how IDE/ATA RAID
controllers show up.
