        hi,
        
        ok, i got /dev/hda2 (391104 blocks) and /dev/hdc1 (about        
        the same size as hda2).
        i have the /etc/raidtab from raid0.conf.sample, with
        chunksize=16.
        i did mkraid (--really-force) /dev/md0 and got:
        ...
        disk0: /dev/hda2, 391104kB, raid superblock at 391040kB
        disk1: /dev/hdc1, 391576kB, raid superblock at 391488kB
        array md0 already exists!
        mkraid: aborted

        if i do raidstart /dev/md0 i get
        array md0 already exists!
        /dev/md0: File exists

        if i do mke2fs -b 4096 -R stride=4 /dev/md0 i get:
        /dev/md0: Invalid argument while setting up superblock

        i'm using 2.0.36 + raid0145-19981215-2.0.36 &
        raidtools-19981214-0.90
        from RAID5.HOWTO it doesn't get this hard, in fact
        mkraid.5 mentioned that raid0 doesn't need mkraid...

        what have i done wrong? how do i set up raid0?
        btw, i can't have this comp. down for a long time,
        so i need help very much, or i can't have linux-raid
        i'm not on linux-raid list btw, so please cc me

        thanks
