My apologies for not specifying - I am using the raid0145-19990309 patch
and raidtools-19990309. I don't remember if there were two different
patches (for 2.0.36 and 2.2.3) when I first downloaded it, so I tried
again:
I downloaded a fresh copy of 2.2.3 from ftp.us.kernel.org, and also
grabbed the above patch. I installed the patch and compiled the kernel,
and I still get the same error. /var/log/messages has a lot to say,
though...
# raidstart /dev/md0
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
/var/log/messages:

So then I want it to remake the superblock, but mkraid -f /dev/md0 won't
do this for me. Any suggestions? There is nothing I need on these 3
drives, so I'm all up for trying things out...
Thanks!
