I am trying to create Raid1. I have got three hard disks. On one of the hard disk I have installed debian. And on my other two hard disks I want to do Raid1. I have checked their smartctl and they are fine.
My System Configuration is *Debian version debian-6.0.5-amd64 * I formatted both the other two hard disks which are 160 GB each and then I installed the package *mdadm 3.1.4 . **lsmod *shows* md_mod*. I tried to create raid with the command below #mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 ( This command does not work so ran the command below ) #mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 #mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf I booted the system with single user mode and then I formatted #mkfs.ext4 -L home /dev/md0 When I rebooted the machine and checked cat /proc/mdstat ( does not show active raid devices ) Please guide me where have I gone wrong. regards Kaushik Soni
