The resizing thing is almost done :-), however mkraid aborts. It is a
simple
error and I had it when I originally setup the RAID, but the archive
server
seems to be down so I can�t search it
(www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/linux-raid/ or
is there an alternative?). It was something with the order on how to
setup/fdisk the partitions before mkraid.
It is a 2.0.36 Kernel/raid145-19990128-2.0.36 patch with Raidtools 0.90
(19990128-0.90) running RAID1. Basically it is working, since md0 is up
and
running, holding everything except the /home directory. So the basic
config
should be correct.
Any hint :-?)
Till
this is what I get if I try to make md2:
bash-2.02# mkraid /dev/md2
handling MD device /dev/md2
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda6, 1132551kB, raid superblock at 1132480kB
/dev/sda6 appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- use -f to override
mkraid: aborted
bash-2.02# mkraid -f /dev/md2
handling MD device /dev/md2
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda6, 1132551kB, raid superblock at 1132480kB
disk 1: /dev/sdb6, 1132551kB, raid superblock at 1132480kB
mkraid: aborted
Same message with md3 (using sdx7)
That�s the way the HDD�s are partioned:
