On a system which already has several RAID5 filesystems (/dev/md1 to
md4), I'm trying to set up a root-RAID-1. Actually I tried this a long
time ago, and when it didn't work, I left it alone due to lack of time
to play with it. I'm now trying to finish the work.
system is Linux 2.0.36 with RAID-patches and tools from January.
/etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 32
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc2
raid-disk 1
# mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb2, 64260kB, raid superblock at 64192kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc2, 64260kB, raid superblock at 64192kB
mkraid: aborted
What's going on in here? The partitions certainly aren't in use or
anything.
