Everything seems setup correctly. What's in /proc/swaps?
Probably you initialized the swap partitions before creating the raid array (on /dev/sda5 and/or /dev/sdb5). Software raid steals a bit of space from the device so your resulting mirror is smaller than each device. Make sure first that you aren't using it (swapoff /dev/md1), then do a mkswap /dev/md1 to reinitialize the array as swap. Matteo Vescovi wrote:
Hi all. The subject of this mail is the message I can find for every boot in my /var/log/messages file. I've set up a RAID1 environment with etch amd64; it's composed of 2 identical HDDs. The partitioning scheme is the same for both the devices. I've put the swap area (a /dev/md1 made by /dev/sda5 and /dev/sdb5) in the RAID, setting the ID label as "fd" (that is the 'Linux raid autodetect' mode). The /proc/mdstat file says about that partition: md1 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 1951744 blocks [2/2] [UU] Is that correct? Is the swap area working right despite the message above? If so, why do I get that strange message in the logs? Thanks a lot for your hints. Greetings, Matteo
