Topic: How to rebuild software RAID on SME

[Alex]

I have one question, how to rebuld soft RAID array on SME server 5.6u4. One of the disks has failed.

I have backup of all data but don't know how quick and easy rebuild that raid array?

server does not do that automaticly right?

I have already try all procedures in all RAID How to's but none worked. It is always same: file not found or disk busy problem or something else....but this was very interesting (not successfull but who knows..?)

I have dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb and after that:

raidmonitor -i and reboot.....

At the begining there was no error mesage that RAID is broken and so on but after that Kernel panic: can not find boot sector os similar...So It looks like that this will work if I did not forgot to change MBR (lilo) on second drive.. but now I can't find out how to do that  ...

So my server is stil working with one drive if anybody have any idea you re welcome
