I think my problem must lie with the fact that the system im running
from is very minimal system.
I did check mkraid with ldd, and it only requires
ld-linux.so.2 and libc.so.6 which i have.
I actually have 2 systems a fully working raid system and this test
machine. Im trying to use the same configuration on both.
Im not trying to create a raid on a loopback device (pretty cool idea
though). Im trying to make the raid on regualar disks from a rootfs
mounted on ramdisk (or loopback? im not sure).
My guess at this stage is that there must be some other dependency
somewhere that i have wrong.
But i could still be doing something stupid, im sure ive had mkraid
segfaults before.... which i could remember what i did.
Oh well, live and learn
Thanks
