I plan to put 4 9Gb disks into a RAID array. I want more than one file
system on this array so I decided to partition each disk and create
multiple software raid arrays. Each raid array would have exactly one
device entry for each physical disk (I included a copy of my raidtab
file if that expanation is not quite clear). During bootup, I get the
following error: My raidtab file looks as follows:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 4
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 32
device /dev/sda1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 2
device /dev/sdd1
raid-disk 3
raiddev /dev/md1
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 4
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 32
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdc2
raid-disk 2
device /dev/sdd2
raid-disk 3
