Hi out there! I finally want to update my raid0-arrays to the 0.90 style raid. The first thing I did was compiling raid-tools-0.90. That went fine. I then converted my /etc/mdtab into a /etc/raidtab (please check them for errors, they are attached). Next step would be editing the init scripts to use raid0run instead of mdadd -r. I tested this with one of my md's (namely /dev/md2), but I got an error along the lines of the following: Q> ... Q> mkraid: aborted. I wonder what mkraid has to do with raid0run'ning old md's on an old-style kernel? Is raid0run only for use with new-style kernels? If so, how the heck do I test the raidtab before changing the init scripts and booting into the new-style kernel[1] with no return? Marc -------------------- [1] I could, of course do something along the lines of # if [ "$(uname -r)" = "2.2.13" ]; then # new-style-tools # else # old-style-tools # fi assuming that I only patch 2.2.13 for the time being. But that would still only resolve the init-script issue. What about typos in /etc/raidtab? This is too insecure for my taste. -- Marc Mutz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://marc.mutz.com/ University of Bielefeld, Dep. of Mathematics / Dep. of Physics PGP-keyID's: 0xd46ce9ab (RSA), 0x7ae55b9e (DSS/DH)
