I'm currently running a standard v2.2.17 kernel w/ the 'accompanying'
raid system (linear).
Having the following /etc/mdtab file:
/dev/md0 linear,4k,0,75f3bcd8 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd10 /dev/sde1
/dev/sdf1 /dev/sdg1
And converted this to a newer /etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level linear
nr-raid-disks 6
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdd10
raid-disk 2
device /dev/sde1
raid-disk 3
device /dev/sdf1
raid-disk 4
device /dev/sdg1
raid-disk 5
And this is what cfdisk tells me about the partitions:
sdb1 Primary Linux raid autodetect 6310.74
sdc1 Primary Linux raid autodetect 1059.07
sdd10 Logical Linux raid autodetect 2549.84
sde1 Primary Linux raid autodetect 9138.29
sdf1 Primary Linux raid autodetect 18350.60
sdg1 Primary Linux raid autodetect 16697.32
But when I start the new kernel, it won't start the raidsystem...
I tried the 'mkraid --upgrade' command, but that says something about
no superblock stuff... Can't remember exactly what it says, but...
And I'm to afraid to just execute 'mkraid' to create the array. I have
over 50Gb of data that I can't backup somewhere...
What can I do to keep the old data, but convert the array to the new
raid system?
