Hello,
I am trying to get raid level one working on my machine. I have
installed
raidtools-0.50beta10-2
and I have enabled the raid as a module in my kernel.
The output of the df command is:
/dev/hda1 54410 25292 26309 49% /
/dev/sda5 17072834 13 16183684 0% /local
/dev/sdb5 17072834 13 16183684 0% /local1
/dev/hda7 7068742 836518 5865944 12% /usr
/dev/hda6 303251 23454 264136 8% /var
I have put /etc/raid1.conf which contains:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/sda5
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb5
raid-disk 1
Now I do the follwing:
root> /sbin/mkraid -c /etc/raid1.conf /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda5, 17782752kB, raid superblock at 17782656kB
/dev/sda5 is mounted
mkraid: aborted
So why am I getting mkraid aboarted. Also do I need to have an
/etc/raidtab file...
I tried this /etc/raidtab (I edited a the distributed sample file):
raiddev /dev/md2
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 128
device /dev/sda5
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb5
raid-disk 1
So please what am I doing wrong. I am trying to make /local and /local1
mirror each other.
Thanks for any pointers.
Oh, I have RH5.2 kernel 2.0.36 (on i386 machine) - I have the raid
enabled as a module. I didn't add any patches for the kernel to
support raid. Do I need to add some patches ? If I do, is there
a way of knowing if these patches have been applied to the
kernel already ?
Thanks,
Abed
