I just started the first time to use raidtools, wanted to create a RAID 1
device. The mkraid command aborted with the following message:
machine:~# mkraid --really-force /dev/md0
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb13, 2056288kB, raid superblock at 2056192kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc13, 2056288kB, raid superblock at 2056192kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
I didn't find any clues in syslog or other log files and this is in
/proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
Thats my /etc/raidtab
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb8
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc8
raid-disk 1
Thanks for any hints.
