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 -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Mike Pepe Sent: 13 October 2005 16:38 To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: RAID setup on Fedora 3.8 Khaled wrote: > Hello, > > I need to find out further information about the RAID setup on a backup > server running Fedora 3.8; unfortunately the person who set up the system is > no longer available.

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. -Mike -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
