Excepting LVM is more about volume management and less about resilience, LVM does not AFAIK have the tools to setup a RAID5 or RAID6 environment. Instead you'd have to build LVM on top of RAID which...

Hi All

I have a RAID 5 array consisting of 4 drives that had a partial drive failure in one of the drives.

Thanks Scott

Could you explain how that's working possibly.

I was told a way to do this with awk earlier today but is there a way with sed to specify the last instance of a character on a line?

You will know what character you're looking for but there...

Just wanted a further follow up to thank you for this.

I was using basename a couple of other places in the script and replacing with this is going to strip about an hour off the script...

Thanks, what's the $NF variable? I don't think I've ever used it before.

Unfortunately googling the word 'chat' gives you zebedee billion responses that relate to everything and few of them refer to the linux chat command. I've read the man page and found a couple of...
