Hi,
I'm using RedHat 6.0 on a Pentium II system. It has three scsi-harddisks. I
use the first one to boot the systems and want to create a raid on the two
other disks.
I've created an /etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 16
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdd1
raid-disk 1
My /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [2 raid0]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
When running mkraid --bogus /dev/md0 this happens:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 102384kB, raid superblock at 102272kB
disk 1: /dev/sdd1, 102384kB, raid superblock at 102272kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potentional clues
There are no messages in syslog. I'm not sure what the "incative" in mdstats
means.
What's going wrong ? I've tried several kernels (2.2.5 2.2.9 2.2.12
2.2.13pre10 and 2.3.18x). I've played around with some parameters like
chunksize and persistantsuperblock. I'm using raidtools-0.90-5.rpm. I've
also compiled the raidtools myself, but nothing changed.
What to do ? Are there any verbose-switches to get some more messages ?
