Doh! Spoke too soon.
Yes, the mkraid finished happily.
Then the mdcreate raid1 /dev/md0 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2 finished happily.
But the mdadd -ar now returns:
/dev/hda2: no such device
/dev/hdc2: no such device
/dev/md0: no such device
Sigh. ;) I think I'll make my own raid using cp hehe. It'll be faster.
I haven't got as far as trying to boot from the raid yet, and from what I
see on the net thats the really fun part.
Cheers,
Marty
