HI!
i am trying to play with linux2.2.14 RAID5 feature and the raidtools2
package included in debian potato distribution.
the kernel compiles suuccesfully and i am able to insmod raid5 and i have
/proc/mdstat.
i have 3 disks (hda,hdc,hdd - each 4.3GB) with 3290MB partitions to use
with raid. however i am unable to mkraid /dev/md0 with a /etc/raidtab as
included. i am elso unable to mkraid --really-force it said:
mi:/usr/src/linux# 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/hda6, 3212968kB, raid superblock at 3212864kB
disk 1: /dev/hdc2, 3213000kB, raid superblock at 3212928kB
disk 2: /dev/hdd2, 3213000kB, raid superblock at 3212928kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
i examined /var/log/syslog and i found nothing interesting
when i cat /proc/mdstat i received:
mi:/usr/src/linux# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
any ideas, anybody?
thx in advance!
