Good day all, Need a bit of help here. I have an active virtual mail server setup using software raid1 (ubuntu 6.06). I want to replace one of the hard drives so I can use it to build a duplicate system but I am worried about GRUB not working. When I initially set up the system I did not set up a separate /boot partition. my mdstat is here: root@vmail:~# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 30611776 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 29294400 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 2931776 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 9767424 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> my Partitions are as follows: root@vmail:~# sfdisk --no-reread /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 9039 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Old situation: Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 0+ 1215 1216- 9767488+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 1216 1580 365 2931862+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 1581 5227 3647 29294527+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda4 5228 9038 3811 30611857+ fd Linux raid autodetect root@vmail:~# sfdisk --no-reread /dev/sdb Disk /dev/sdb: 9039 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Old situation: Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #cyls #blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 0+ 1215 1216- 9767488+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 1216 1580 365 2931862+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb3 1581 5227 3647 29294527+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb4 5228 9038 3811 30611857+ fd Linux raid autodetect md0 = sda1+sdb1 and is 10 GB mounted at / md1 = sda2+sdb2 and is 3GB set up as swap When I first set this up I did not know I did not need to mirror swap -and not sure how to remove md1 md2 = sda3+sdb3 and is 30GB mounted at /home md3 = sda4+sdb4 and is 31.15 GB mounted at /var The hardrive I will put in to replace sdb is 160 GB instead of 80 GB. Thanx for any advice WaveQam
