Hello,

I'm trying to setup your basic RAID0 Software raid and running into some
problems.

Details:

Mandrake 6.1,(not RedHat!)
Kernel 2.2.13 and 2.2.12
2 SCSI drives, completely seperate from root, 4 GB each

My test raidtab (/etc/raidtab.test)

raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level      0
        nr-raid-disks   2
        persistent-superblock   1
        chunk-size      8

        device  /dev/sdb1
        raid-disk       0

        device  /dev/sdc1
        raid-disk       1




When I run mkraid I get the following:

[root@washu /root]# mkraid -c /etc/raidtab.test /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 4192933kB, raid superblock at 4192832kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc1, 4192933kB, raid superblock at 4192832kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.

Output from /proc/mdstat:

[root@washu /root]# chkraid
Personalities : [2 raid0]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
[root@washu /root]#

Nothing of note in syslogd (*.* >> /dev/tty12)

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

I just joined the list, are there any searchable archives?
Is a kernel patch still required for the 2.2.1x series?

Thanks in advance,


Bill Carlson
