Since the stock md/raid0 is now horribly broken in 2.1.12[89], I decided today to try the latest raid1 stuff: raid0145-19981110-2.1.127 -- kernel patch raidtools-19981105-0.90.tar.gz -- raid utilities After patching the kernel and rebooting, I created /etc/raidtab: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 chunk-size 32 device /dev/hde1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdg1 raid-disk 1 and then did: mkraid /dev/md0 #.. waited for /proc/mdstat to show sync'ing 100% completed, then.. mke2fs /dev/md0 mount /dev/md0 /u cp -auvfx / /u ## copy everthing to md0 umount /dev/md0 e2fsck -f /dev/md0 and lo.. the e2fsck finds *tons* of filesystem errors. Running e2fsck -f /dev/md0 *again* finds more errors! Not looking too good at the moment. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
