Hi all
I'm running raidtools-19990421-0.90 on my Redhat6 (glibc2.1) box, with
kernel 2.2.9
I've compiled the kernel with Raid0 and linear support
I've edited the raidtab-file properly for linear (also tried raid0)
(I've even used one of the example-files, and just changed the
harddisk-dev's)
When I run "mkraid /dev/md0' it returns me the following :
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
/var/log/messages returns nothing, and /proc/mdstat contains :
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
I have used the drive's I want to 'append' as a raid device successfully
before, but with the new kernel/distro/raidtools I haven't been able to set
it up (yet)
I also tried mkraid /dev/md0 --upgrade, and mkraid /dev/md0 --reallyforce,
and both here is what upgrade gives me :
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
upgrading superblock on /dev/sda1 ...
old superblock:
MD ID: a92b4efc
Conforms to MD version: 0.90.0
preferred minor 0 (md0)
gvalid_words: 0
Raid set ID: b0be5442
Creation time: Sat May 15 14:27:23 1999
Update time: Sat May 15 17:18:43 1999
State: 1 (clean)
Raid level: 0
Individual disk size: 4094MB (4192832kB)
Total number of disks: 3
Number of raid disks: 3
Number of active disks: 3
Number of working disks: 3
Number of failed disks: 0
Number of spare disks: 0
Disk 0: major 8, minor 1, raid_disk 0, state: 6 (operational, active, sync)
Disk 1: major 8, minor 17, raid_disk 1, state: 6 (operational, active, sync)
Disk 2: major 8, minor 33, raid_disk 2, state: 6 (operational, active, sync)
array needs no upgrade
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
Which seems like progress, but it always ends in 'aborted, see... etc'
of course, raidstart doesn't work if mkraid isn't completed successfully,
but I'll include the output :
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
Hope all that helps :-)
Any help would be appreciated.
