Hello all!

Am tasked with proving the RAID-5 recovery strategy!

Have a Dual PII-400/ with external array (compaq storage F2) connected via
two ncr53C875 controllers... Box does OK! 8X9-GB drives provide 63 usable
GB, and has been behaving itself for the past week or so.

My Boss wants to pull out a drive, and put an unformatted one in and see how
it rebuilds!

A realistic test for the dark day.... The external drive is all data. OS is
inside...
(does this matte?)

Anything to watch out for when rebuilding is underway? Can I adjust
/etc/raidtab to rebuild faster?  How does XFS compare to rebuilds on other
file systems?!?!

My last question was great!!! thanks for the responses... Seems the 2 GB
limit is in software settings and history more than programming techniques..
Cant we all just do > 2 GB ?

THanks a Bunch!!! 

JDW
