Hi all, Is there any pitfall when updating kernel with a software RAID-1 configuration? Thanks.
not that i have found. I have updated my kernel more than a few times with Centos updates and not had a problem with my software RAID 1 array.

The only potential issue that I can think of is if you need to build a driver for your hardware. If you installed from a CentOS CD/DVD and did not need any new drivers to be compiled, then it should be safe to upgrade the kernel.
There are dmraid issues with a couple machines, but you can just uninstall dmraid if it is a problem in those instances.

Thanks Johnny, I'll update it when I get back to the office again. I guess I need to update the kernel so that smartd can work on the SATA disks.
