With a similar problem in Raid-5 I had to use mkinitrd to add the raid
personalities to initrd too - see man pages.

has been good enough to help me out, but I think I'm wearing out my
welcome. Here's what I have so far:
>I'm close, but I still don't have the cigar. Here's what I have: I'm
using RH 6.0. I have two WD 4.3 gb HDD's. I'm trying to mirror (to start
out) hda5 and hdc5. I have raid tools 19990421-0. This is what I've
done:mke2fs /dev/hda6. mkdir /mnt/spare. mount /dev/hda6 /spare. tar clf
- * | tar xpfC - /mnt/spare. edited /etc/fstab to change /dev/hda5 /usr to
/dev/hda6 /usr. reboot. I ran fdisk to change hda5 and c5 to type fd.
mkraid --really-force /dev/md1. mke2fs /dev/md1. mount /dev/md1
/mnt/spare. cd /usr. tar clf - * | tar xpfC - /mnt/spare. edited
/etc/fstab changed /dev/hda6 /usr to /dev/md1 /usr. reboot. I get the
following error: "Mount : wrong fd type, bad option, bad supreblock or
/dev/md1, or too many mounted fs (aren't you trying to mount an extended
partition in stead of some logical partition inside?) I think I might be a
little confused. I know the basics of raid and how it's supposed to work.
I know the basics of it and what it's supposed to do. Are both /hda5 and
/hdc5 supposed to be mounted at /usr in the fstab? how do I use /dev/md1?
Do I replace /dev/hdc5 /usrb with /dev/md1 /some mount point? Am I making
sense? I'm not sure what to do with /dev/md1 or what my fstab should look
like.Do I want the same information on hda5 *and* hdc5? Or do I want the
same information on hda5 and md1?
