I've been having a problem trying to make a RAID5 device with kernel 2.2.5
and raidtools-19990309-0.90. Mkraid dies with 'mkraid: aborted' and no
other explanation.
My setup is a dual Pentium II-350 with 128 mb RAM. The root
filesystem is on a 4 gb SCSI LVD, and I'm trying to build a md device
using six 18 gb LVD drives. The controller is an Adaptec AHA-2940U2W.
The mkraid run:
frank:~# mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb2, 17743792kB, raid superblock at 17743680kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc2, 17743792kB, raid superblock at 17743680kB
disk 2: /dev/sdd2, 17743792kB, raid superblock at 17743680kB

Would appreciate any help. Thanks!
