Hi, sorry to bother you all about this, but I have a few questions. First: I'm working off the latest snapshot of Raidtools-0.90, and a 2.2pre1 kernel, with RAID-1 built in (not as a module). In the QuickStart.RAID file, it says that mkraid will work like: $ mkraid /etc/raid1.conf It doesn't - it needs a -c option to get it to use something other than /etc/raidtab. Just something small I noticed. Anyway. I've done: minbar# mkraid --really-force -c /etc/raid1.conf /dev/md0 DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure! handling MD device /dev/md0 analyzing super-block disk 0: /dev/hda9, 658633kB, raid superblock at 658560kB disk 1: /dev/hda10, 658633kB, raid superblock at 658560kB mkraid: aborted minbar# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [3 raid1] read_ahead not set md0 : inactive hda9 hda10 1317266 blocks md1 : inactive md2 : inactive md3 : inactive minbar# raidstart --configfile /etc/raid1.conf /dev/md01.conf /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Invalid argument (just testing, I know the two partitions are on the same disk) Can I find out what was "aborted" in mkraid ? Any ideas on how to work out what's up would be appricated.. Kate
