[conspire] linuxmafia.com disk drives & (md) RAID-1 ... uh oh ;-}

[Michael Paoli]

Hmmm, I thought you(/we/I) had earlier fixed that?
... but maybe that was then;
this is "now" (stumbled across while draftin' up an email):
$ ssh -ax linuxmafia.com. 'cat /proc/mdstat' | less

Are you in need of drive?
Do I recall correctly it uses [P]ATA/IDE?
Hmm, wonderin', is sdb currently something else? (e.g. USB backup drive),
or primary and secondary (sdb) disk drives of different sizes ... I thought
they were same (or close in) size ... or maybe I'm misremembering, or
maybe it's changed.

Oh, and CABAL, Saturday ... I'll probably be there (thus far intending
to).
Do also have hardware if you might be interested (even picked up some
more today I probably need to add to list):

Holler if there's something offered there I have that you want (and may
want me to bring to Cabal)

Anyway, let me know if you need/want assistance, or want me to look
into the md situation further (and/or correct if feasible).
