I'm having trouble getting software raid, neither in linear nor raid-0 mode,
to function. I've read all documentation I'we been able to get my hands on,
but haven't found a solution. I want to create a large pool of disk space by
appending two partitions residing on separate ide disks. The problem is that
mkraid finishes without doing or raporting anything.
mkraid's output when run by issuing command 'mkraid --really-force
/dev/md0':
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hda3, 7582680kB, raid superblock at 7582592kB
disk 1: /dev/hdc1, 9903568kB, raid superblock at 9903488kB
mkraid: aborted
The contents of /proc/mdstat remains the same after mkraid is done. I've
compiled my kernel (2.2.7 on a RedHat 6.0 box) with raid support (left
raid 1 support out, though).
Any id�as?
