Hello,
I am not a subscriber to this list, so please direct any answers to me
personally.
I have been running a Redhat 5.0 system and just upgraded to Redhat 6.0. My
problem is my linear mode RAID is non-functional.
Here is my old /etc/mdtab:
# mdtab
/dev/md0 linear,crc /dev/sda5 /dev/sdb1
Here is my new /etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level linear
nr-raid-disks 2
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sda5
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 1
I believe I have it in the right order, so I tried to activate the array.
# mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda5, 1783183kB, raid superblock at 1783104kB
/dev/sda5 appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- use -f to override
mkraid: aborted
I did the "-f" and the message directed me here. :-)
What did I do wrong?
Is it ok to do the what the message says when you use the -f?
I have data existing on /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb1, is it going to go into the
bit-bucket when I activate the array?
Thanks.
