| |
Last September Stephan told someone on the linux-kernel list that Ext3 and Raid 1 didn't work together on the 2.2 kernel. Has this been fixed or have I just been lucky? I've been using ext3 on a Raid 1 array of two IBM 75GB ide drives with kernel 2.2.19. Three times in the last 9 months one of the drives reported errors and dropped offline, each time I have fdisked the bad drive, formatted it, fsck'ed it and found no problems, fdisked it again, and raidhotadd'ed it back in and it restored the array without problems. Two questions: 1. Besides the faulty drive, is my data in danger from this software configuration and I've just been lucky or would this configuration not trigger the problems Stephan was warning about? 2. What is the "proper" fix for the patch collision between the raid patch and the ext3 patch in /include/linux/fs.h? I've just been changing the line #define BH_LowPrio 8 to #define BH_LowPrio 5 around line 198, it's been working but I don't know enough about the code to know if that might mess something else up or not work under some conditions.
