Yohoo!
I tried to install a raid- device on my linux- system.
SuSE 6.3 with kernel 2.2.13 (kernel directly from ftp.fi.kernel.org)
raidtools 0.90.0
In the kernel setup I've included the RAID-4/ 5 support and compiled the
kernel (RAID- support not as module).
Now I've written a raidtab- file with the following lines:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 3
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 128
device /dev/sdb5
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc5
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdd5
raid-disk
2
An cat /proc/mdstat shows the following:
Personalities : [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 :
inactive
When I now want to start my device with "mkraid /dev/md0" the following
occurs:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb5, 2096419kB, raid superblock at 2096320kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc5, 2096419kB, raid superblock at 2096320kB
disk 2: /dev/sdd5, 2096419kB, raid superblock at 2096320kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential
clues.
Not even the /proc/mdstat or the syslog (/ver/log/warn|messages) shows
any more information.
How can I get raid running?
BTW: I've tried to apply the kernel-patch for the 2.2.11 kernel, but
patch won't work. Is there any need for the kernel- patch and where can
I get it for the 2.2.13 kernel?
