When I post a message to this list is because I gone through the archieves to check if
the similar problem has been reported and followed the HOWTO from linuxvm.org without
getting any help. And so my last hope is this listserv. So because I really need help
I will give all the details from what I did until where I get the problem.
Step 1
I created a /etc/raidtab here it follows
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 4
chunk-size 4
device /dev/dasdd
raid-disk 0
device /dev/dasde
raid-disk 1
device /dev/dasdf
raid-disk 2
device /dev/dasdh
raid-disk 3
Step 2
Run mkraid /dev/md0
Results in /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid0 dasdh[3] dasdf[2] dasde[1] dasdd[0]
9613440 blocks 4k chunks
unused devices: <none>
Step 3
Run mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/md0
[root@vmlinux1 root]# mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
1202944 inodes, 2403360 blocks
120168 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
74 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
16256 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632
Writing inode tables: done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
This filesystem will be automatically checked every 29 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
Step 4
Run mount /dev/md0 /var/spool/mqueue
[root@vmlinux1 root]# mount /dev/md0 /var/spool/mqueue
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
Step 4
Run mount -t ext2 /dev/md0 /var/spool/mqueue
[root@vmlinux1 root]# mount -t ext2 /dev/md0 /var/spool/mqueue
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0,
or too many mounted file systems
Step 5
Run dmesg (This error comes after I have done the mount)
FAT: bogus logical sector size 0
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 09:00.
VFS: Can't find ext2 filesystem on dev md(9,0).
Any help will be appriciated.
Thanx
