Hi! I've tried to access a third RAID0 in a system without any success but a strange error message.
I've set up /dev/md2 with # mdcreate -c8k raid0 /dev/md2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 which resulted in this line in /etc/mdtab: # mdtab entry for /dev/md2 /dev/md2 raid0,8k,0,0d445432 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 After that I added this MD device to the system: # mdadd /dev/md2 # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [2 raid0] read_ahead 8 sectors md0 : active raid0 hda2 hdb2 819312 blocks 4k chunks md1 : active raid0 hda4 hdb4 7405952 blocks 8k chunks md2 : inactive sda2 sdb2 1984818 blocks md3 : inactive This looks ok so far. However I'm unable to format this new RAID system: # mke2fs /dev/md2 mke2fs 1.12, 9-Jul-98 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09 /dev/md2: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up superblock I appreciate any hin wrt fixing this. It sucks. Regards, Joey -- A mathematician is a machine for converting coffee into theorems. Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
