Hi,
I'm trying to do something that seems to have needed a lot more pizza
than anything I've tried before, am I missing something?
Using a new Promise ATA66 card I'm trying to build a fast IDE based
array. I've had to compile a development kernel (2.3.13) to get my
redhat based linux to recognise the card, so far so good, I can see the
drives (hde, hdf and hdg - yeah, performance hit from 2 drives on one
IDE) and have been able to mount them individually. I've written a nice
raidtab but mkraid aborts when I try to build the array.
I've dug in a little, I seems to bomb when doing the SET_ARRAY_INFO
ioctl with an errno 22 (EINVAL - invalid argument). Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ed
