This is for the raid gurus. I managed to cause a raid 1 array to come undone -- this is most likely applicable to any type of raid. kernel 2.2.16 stock from kernel.org matching raid 0.90 patch matching ide patch, but I don't believe any code from this involved abit BP6 mbrd 2x celron 500 -- don't think it matters 2 Seagate Barracuda's ST330630A ide drives one on ide1 as master one on ide2 as SLAVE <-- The ide2 primary is occupied by a zip drive that is rarely used the GOTCHA I accidentally typed in mount /dev/fd1 /mnt when I meant /dev/fd0 this immediately zapped the ide2 channel since the zip drive uses a modified version of the floppy driver. this code probably contains no fail safe mechanism and promptly disabled the entire ide channel. I had to kill the mount process to free it. Maybe there is no workaround for this kind of error, but it sure messes things up quick. I would imagine this would cause problems in all kernels including 2.4xx. I'd be curious if this kind of problem exists with a scsii connected zip drive.
