Hi!
I have raidtools-0.90-3, which comes with RPMS in RedHat CD.
I have downloaded md-035-3, because this is the software I worked with when
I had slackware. When I had it, I only had to do:
mdadd /dev/md0 /dev/hdc /dev/hdd
mdrun -pl /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /mnt
and it worked. So I have tried to do that and in first step it failed, as I
told you. After that I have discovered raidtools, but I do not know how it
works. I have tried to make a /etc/raidtab like this:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hdc
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdd
raid-disk 1
chunk-size 4096
I do not know if this makes what I want or which are parameters I need. I
executed: mkraid /dev/md0 and got:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hdc 8257032 kB, raid superblock at 8256960kB
/dev/hdc appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- use -f to override
mkraid:aborted
And in boot (dmesg) I got:
md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MAX_REAL=12
md.c: sizeof(mdp_super_t) = 4096, this is why I have put chunk-size 4096.
Can you help me, please?
Due to message from Luca to the list, I think I do not need md-035.3, do
I?. Must I work with raidtools only?, and how?.
Thanks a lot
Sonia
