Hi guys, I've been having a problem that i've seen on a few sites/mailing lists regarding metadisk'ing.. It seems to be on all the current distributions, but no one seems to have found a solution, or the developers just dont know it exhists.. Following the Software-raid howto and setting up the meta drives as simple raid0, linear, or raid1 (havent tried raid5) gives exactly the same problem.. heres my raidtab: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 chunk-size 128 nr-raid-disks 2 persistent-superblock 1 device /dev/sdd1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sde1 raid-disk 1 (simple config) however, when you try to create the raid device, you get: [root@blacksland block]# mkraid /dev/md0 handling MD device /dev/md0 analyzing super-block disk 0: /dev/sdd1, 103819kB, raid superblock at 103744kB disk 1: /dev/sde1, 103819kB, raid superblock at 103744kB mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues. /proc/mdstat looks like: [root@blacksland block]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5] read_ahead not set md0 : inactive md1 : inactive md2 : inactive md3 : inactive And absolutely nothing gets sent to syslog at all... Has anyone seen a solution to this one out there anywhere?
