I'm running a raid0 and a raid5 under Mdk 5.3. But i hope this is the same
thing under Mdk6. And yes the documentation is not up to date... I'll give
you what i did under Mdk 5.3.
-install the raidtools package included with mdk 6
-load raidx modules (if compiled in modules with 2.2 kernel)
-create the file /etc/raidtab (you can find a sample in /usr/doc/raid-tools)
-modify this file with your configuration
-to configure the raid use the commands raidadd and raidrun instead of mdadd
and mdrun
-mkraid /dev/mdx
-mke2fs /dev/mdx
If you need more details just ask! Hope this help.
