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.
Thanks,
JonH
