a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman
\_ According to the Linux RAID wiki, you might be able to use mdadm
to do this with something like the following:

nightmare of poor IO performance should hopefully be over. Prepare for
another long nightmare of poor hardware reliability!

Just kidding! (I hope)
In any case, this means that cooler was taken out back and shot, and

uptimes.

2009/8/21-9/1 [Computer/SW/Unix] UID:53297 Activity:nil | 8/20 When I use rsync to backup, it's pretty cool except in cases where
I rename a directory name from the source. Rsync will just do

directories (by checking for children files), or at least
move them to a dated directory?
\_ Not related but beware of using rsync as a backup tool.
