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
