Turbolinux 6.5? Ouch! Try looking at the VM console, and other log files besides /var/log/messages (if there are any). Also, _is_ in /proc/mdstat?

After trying a number of things with the DASD I always get the same result. I have been formating the DASD's before I try to do a mkraid, by using dasdfmt. The format works when I am going to just add a single DASD to Linux. However, I am not sure what I should use otherwise. Here is the error message and the RAIDTAB file I am using. [EMAIL PROTECTED] /root]# mkraid /dev/md0 handling MD device /dev/md0 analyzing super-block disk 0: /dev/dasdd, 2402640kB, raid superblock at 2402560kB disk 1: /dev/dasde, 2402640kB, raid superblock at 2402560kB disk 2: /dev/dasdf, 2402640kB, raid superblock at 2402560kB disk 3: /dev/dasdg, 2402640kB, raid superblock at 2402560kB mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues. raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 4 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/dasdd raid-disk 0 device /dev/dasde raid-disk 1 device /dev/dasdf raid-disk 2 device /dev/dasdg raid-disk 3 I looked in the /var/log/messages but it had nothing that would indicate would had failed. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
