Hello RAID hackers,
I'm trying to create a couple software RAID-1 arrays on a new Dell
server my employer just purchased. Here's quick rundown of my current
setup:
Adapter 7890 SCSI Controller
3 Quantum Viking II 9.1 GB SCSI drives
RedHat 6.0 w/ 2.2.10 kernel (compiled with RAID-1 support)
raidtools 0.90 compiled from distributed source (ie, non-RedHat)
My /etc/raidtab looks like this:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 3
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
device /dev/sda2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb2
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdc2
raid-disk 2
raiddev /dev/md1
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 3
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
device /dev/sda4
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdb4
raid-disk 1
device /dev/sdc4
raid-disk 2
When I run mkraid --force /de/md0 (because sda2 has a filesystem on it):
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda2, 2104515kB, raid superblock at 2104448kB
disk 1: /dev/sdb2, 2104515kB, raid superblock at 2104448kB
disk 2: /dev/sdc2, 2104515kB, raid superblock at 2104448kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
I can't figure out why mkraid is aborting. No messages show up in the
syslog, and I get what looks like a typical response from /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [3 raid1]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
I've already the Software-RAID HOWTO (both the LDP version and the more
up-to-date version included in the raidtools distribution). There's lots
of useful information in there, but it all applies once you've gotten
past the point I'm stuck at. ^_^
What am I doing wrong? I'm having difficulty finding any sort of
diagnostics to help understand this problem. Any help offered would be
greatly appreciated.
Regards,
-zack
