hi all,
How do i remove a drive which is previously been set to an IBAY? I want to remove that drive and use it on another computer. I tried already deleting that ibay and remove the hard disk but i got a problem when restarted the server. It stops from booting to the system. i get filemaintenance prompt when put back the drive it work fine.
Is there any things i should consider before removing the drive?
Thanks

Hi
I guess you system goes in maintenance mode because it cannot mount all filesystems :arrow: check in /var/log/messages.
Is there any things i should consider before removing the drive?
umount the FS
remove the entry for this disk from the /etc/fstab file

Hi,
FS mount info are in /etc/fstab only (no further template)
You should get either on the console, dmesg, /var/log/messages some clues about the reason of the maintenance mode.
When you are in maintenance mode, is there any FS you should see you are not seeing ?
Are you using IDE or SCSI ?
with SCSI are you having a correct terminator setting ?
did you make any change in the grub.conf file ?

hi,
i am using ide drives. I have three drives one 30gb(system drive) and two 40gb for my two ibays(diffrent model 5200 and 7200). I want to remove the 7200rpm drive(seagate baracuda). I can access the ibay on maintance mode as well as on normal bootup(with all the drives attached). The only problem is when i removed the drive(seagate baracuda) that i want then errors occurs. I thought removing the the exact ibay drive SME will do things automatically and just remove the drive. But its not that i have expected. im still finding what the cause for this. I cant see the logs since it stops from the start.its doesnt register on message log.
