Raid 1

[monkey3ddd]

I just installed a new raid controller with 2 drives in a raid 1 config.

Is there any way to check and see that they are infact mirroring? When I look in "My Computer" they appear as one drive. But is there anyway to verify that the same files are on BOTH?

Thanks.

I would like to know the same...especially within a Linux OS like Ubuntu.

The same question was asked yesterday. Don't you guys have Google?

Verify Linux

And this was the verification for Windows:

That's assuming you have that Raid board.

Specifically, I would like to see the files firsthand. The raid manager is already telling me it's working, but seeing is beleiving.

Thanks.

To check your RAID 1 configuration, do what reviewers do...
Simply unplug the power from one of the drives! :roll:

Yeah - and then the other one.

No, only one at a time.

That's what I meant - do one, and then do the other. Two separate looks. This actuall gets checked by True Image when I clone/backup the RAID 1 array to another external drive. If the array is not right, it won't clone.

Yeah, I guess I should have thought of that, sorry for the repost. I found the other topic.

Thanks!

Thanks for that Linux link!
