Hello all, I'm new to this list and have been lurking for a while trying to get a grasp of the raid setup. I finally got around to setting up the raid however I've run into a problem. Here's the rundown. Hardware setup Adaptec SCSI controller Two 4.3GB Ultra Wide SCSI disks sda>disk 0 sdb>disk 1 I've installed RH 6.0 on disk 0 and created the following partitions /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 extended /dev/sda5 /swap /dev/sda6 /dev/sdb1 / /dev/sdb2 extended /dev/sdb5 /swap /dev/sdb6 I then proceeded to create the following raidtab file raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 256 device /dev/sda6 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdb6 raid-disk 1 >From here, I performed the following mkraid -c raidtab /dev/md0 then did cat /proc/mdstat to make sure everything was running properly. All seemed fine here. Then, mke2fs -b 4096 -m 1 -R stride=16 /dev/md0 Then I used linuxconf to add the new mount: /dev/md0 /home ext2 and rebooted. During rebooting, while checking the filesystem, I get Checking filesystems fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/md0 Could this be a zero-length partition? Then a prompt for root password for maintenance. Not too sure where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
