I have RedHat 6.0 and could not get mkraid to work in it. What I ended
up doing was replacing the RedHat 6.0 raidtools 0.90... with
raidtaools-0.50 and it worked easily. My problem now is kernel
2.2.10-ac12 seems to have patches which seem to be incompatbile with my
raid partition.
Autodetecting RAID partitions doesn't work (which is fine with me) as
I'd suspect since I don't have a persistent superblock. Running
raidstart -a (if I install 0.90) says something about /dev/md0 being an
invalid parameter. If I run 2.2.10-ac12 with 0.50 I get a cannot get md
version or something like that. I've tried looking through documentation
but the documentation doesn't appear to be updated yet (talks about
mdadd/mdrun, raidadd/raidrun, and raidstart... as well as ckraid,
mkraid, etc... most of which don't exist).
If someone can tell me what I need to do to use my RAID0 partitions with
the latest kernels I'd really appreciate it (what raidtools, what
commands, can I use my 0.50 RAID0 partitions with new tools, kernel
patches???). Thank you.
