Sits,
Have you tried running the "add_drive_to_raid" script from the command line:

Code: [Select]


#/sbin/e-smith/add_drive_to_raid sda
I think there may be an issue where the script may not complete on the first run, so if it doesn't apear to work try running the script again and report what happens.

No I havn't tried that, but currently SDA is part of the raid it just has the wrong ID

If I run this script will it change the drive ID to the correct one, while this drive is already a raid member.

It should do, I'm fairly sure that this script runs when you select option 5 from the console and is designed to setup the partitioning the correct way.

while this drive is already a raid member

I'm not sure, you'll have to try it. If it fails you may have to manually fail the drive from the array or wipe the drive. I would wipe the drive first then run the script twice and see if it works.

OK i will give it a go after the full backup is complete

OK it's all going ok now.

sorry it took so long to get back to you but had to go interstate for a few days.
I had ro remove SDA from the array, and then run the
sbin/e-smith/add_drive_to_raid sda
command twice before it was accepted correctly.

Thanks for your help guys
