This may have been answered here before, but I've searched through the
archives and couldnt seem to find the right answer.
I'm trying to setup a single 20GB RAID-1 device. I configured
/etc/raidtab and built /dev/md0 with mkraid.
I *thought* I could then take that 20GB RAID-1 device and create
partitions on it, and it seemed like I could. I created several
partitions (i.e. /dev/md0p1, /dev/md0p2) using 'fdisk /dev/md0'.
But then I realized that the /dev/md0pX device files dont exist, and that
all of the md devices have the same major number.
So I had to go back and reconfigured /etc/raidtab to create 4 different
RAID devices using 8 different partitions on the 2 disks. I then created
my filesystems right on what I would consider the 'raw RAID devices',
/dev/md0, /dev/md1, etc.
Is there any way to create and use partitions on the RAID devices instead
of having to create a seperate RAID device for each filesystem (short of
going to hardware based RAID, of course)? The other way works, but seems
a bit klumsy.
Thanks in advance,
Aa.
