Good day. Wondering if anyone here has any working knowledge of Promise RAID controllers? Have an issue with my Gentoo box, and thinking that I should rebuild the array. Have mirrored 250 GB drives. The primary seems all good, but the second drive is missing a partition and ALL data by the looks of it.
Looking at the options in the card BIOS, I see drive 1 with 0 bytes capacity, and drive 3 with 232 GB capacity. Am I correct in assuming this is just to keep you from writing stuff to the primary drive? If so, then I simply want to go ahead and rebuild the array mirroring drive 0 to 3, no?
Just though I should ask rather than guess. Wouldn't want my guess to wipe it all out, and have to start from scratch.... :/
Thanks in advance.... :)
