Topic: Raid1, nothing happen after new disk installed as hdc

[monge]

I have read a lot about Raid1 on SME7 both in this forum, in the manual and at the Bug Tracker. I stil can't find a hint to what I shal do to get it to function.
I have a SME 7.1 witch is opdated form af clean 7.0 with an old 6 restored on top of it. Until lately with one harddisk 80Gb. I have now installed a new identical harddisk as master on the other ide-chanel.
Acording to the manual I go to #5 on the console and it says as before. no raid. I understand frem the reading that the system shuld detect the new disk så I could set it op under "disk redudancy status" on the consol.

can anybody give me a hint so I can come forword with my Raid1?

here is some data showing that the disk is seen by linux:

Morten,
Try the following from the command prompt:

Code: [Select]

#/sbin/e-smith/add_drive_to_raid /dev/hdc
Lloyd

[monge]

tryed the command.
the "/dev/" has to be left out.
But it did't work, look at the data here under.
so is there more hints to get out there?

Monge
