FYI, I managed to fix the problem. I don't know if this could be considered a 
'real' fix or just a hack, but it seems to work well.

I editted /etc/rc.sysinit so that it calls MAKEDEV just before it calls mdadm :

    547 if [ -f /etc/mdadm.conf ]; then
    548 # added my Max Waterman
    549     /sbin/MAKEDEV md
    550     /sbin/mdadm -A -s
    551 fi

Hope someone finds this useful.

Max.

I'm having a problem creating my raid device.

My first raid device is /dev/md0 and that works fine; but /dev/md1 doesn't exist.

I can create it manually with :

# mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1
# mknod /dev/md2 b 9 2
# mknod /dev/md3 b 9 3
... etc

and reassemble and mount again, and all is well...but the /dev/mdX files (apart from /dev/md0)
disappear when I reboot.


How do I stop them disappearing?

Hi

I'll give it a try since the alternative (two 4 channel s/w RAID boards)

yet is more money ;)

Cool, let me know how you get on. I'd be interested if it works !
Cheers
