help about sofeware-RAID!

[Next Liu]

Dear Sir:

This Email come from Taiwan. We have used the Mandrake 6.1 OS to
install
software-RAID. As before, we used three 8.4G HD as RAID-0 was OK. But
now
we supportted larger HD - 13.0G x 3 as RAID-0. While we use "mkraid" to
generate
RAID diskes. Do the software-RAID have HD size limitting ?

We got some error message as following ..

==
% mkraid --really-force /dev/md0

 DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!

Mandrake 6.1 has the 0.90 raidtools and the 0.4X RAID in kernel.  RAID
doesn't work in Mandrake because of that.

Get the latest 2.2.13-ac  kernel  (ftp.fi.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/alan/...)

The AC kernels (the ones released by Alan Cox) has some extra features over
the standard kernels, like 0.90 RAID.
