Hi
I'm using a redhat 6.1 with a 2.3.21 kernel.
the raid/raid5 support is compiled in the kernel (aka not module).
I have 5 hard drives (IBM-DJNA-351520, 14664MB w/430kB Cache, CHS=29795/16/63,
(U)DMA) who are called hdb to hdf.
All of these disks only have one partition on them which is hd?1 and which
takes all the room.
Here is my /etc/raidtab :
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 5
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 32
device /dev/hdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdc1
raid-disk 1
device /dev/hdd1
raid-disk 2
device /dev/hde1
raid-disk 3
device /dev/hdf1
raid-disk 4
which is, conforming to the howto, right.
and when i try :
# mkraid /dev/md0
here is what i have :
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hdb1, 15016648kB, raid superblock at 15016576kB
disk 1: /dev/hdc1, 15016648kB, raid superblock at 15016576kB
disk 2: /dev/hdd1, 15016648kB, raid superblock at 15016576kB
disk 3: /dev/hde1, 15016648kB, raid superblock at 15016576kB
disk 4: /dev/hdf1, 15016648kB, raid superblock at 15016576kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
and, well, nothing appears in the syslog, and /proc/mdstat remains unchanged.
anyone have a clue ?
