that's four drives, two raid1 pairs. we've only got one raid pair (shooting for hda and hdd). so we already have a working md* device using hda and hdb -- what settings need to be changed before we shut down and move hdb to hdd? (and guess what -- i thought i could tinker with the two separate drives by removing /etc/rcS.d/Sraid* from the startup sequence. WRONG! how do we recover from that? :( ) -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux boss 2.4.18-bf2.4 #1 Son Apr 14 09:53:28 CEST 2002 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #69 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Preparing to UPGRADE POSTGRESQL? If you have a second machine on your network that you can tinker with, do your upgrade there, first: once tested, you can just have your current applications link to the remote database through the network: psql -h 192.168.2.17 myDB or in perl, $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=myDB;host=192.168.2.17'); (You may need to tweak your 'host-based access' settings in /etc/postgresql/pg_hba.conf, first.) Once you're satisfied that all is well, upgrade your main server. No down time! See "man psql" and "man DBD::Pg" for details.
