Hi Folks,
I am trying to create RAID5 array using mdadm on kernel 2.6.15 as
# mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 --assume-clean --force --bitmap=/tmp/bitmap.txt -l5 -n4
/dev/sd{a,b,c,d}
But when I execute this command getting the following error:
mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Cannot allocate memory
# dmesg shows
Apr 11 00:39:40 localhost kernel: md: bind<sda>
Apr 11 00:39:40 localhost kernel: md: bind<sdb>

Apr 11 00:39:41 localhost kernel: md: unbind<sda>
Apr 11 00:39:41 localhost kernel: md: export_rdev(sda)
I am not able to get why mdadm is failing.
Please suggest some pointers so that I can solve this problem.
Thanks,
Yogesh Pahilwan
