SATA & Software RAID

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

 



Have tried to do a test install of FC5 on a system.  The system has 3 SATA
hard drives which I set up as software RAID 1 (2 drives, 1 spare).  The
drives show up in linux as SDA, SDB, SDC.  

Everything went fine so I shut down the system and pulled out the second
drive (SDB) to test the RAID, assuming that it would failover to the spare
3rd drive (SDC).   No such luck however, when I reboot and check the raid
status it is showing only SDA in the array, SDB is missing (expectedly) and
SDC is missing too.

Took a look and see that with the 2nd drive pulled, the 3rd drive is showing
up as SDB now instead of SDC (which I think explains why the RAID didn't
failover). 

Question is... how can I make the 3rd drive always show up as SDC?  Even in
a non-raid scenario I can see that removing one of your drives and having
the others reshuffle their drive "letters" would be a bad thing :-)

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cheers,
