I'm just following this article:

http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue45/nielsen.html

Here's my output:


[root@localhost /root]# mkraid -f /dev/md0
--force and the new RAID 0.90 hot-add/hot-remove functionality should be
 used with extreme care! If /etc/raidtab is not in sync with the real
array
 configuration, then a --force will DESTROY ALL YOUR DATA. It's especially
 dangerous to use -f if the array is in degraded mode. 

 PLEASE dont mention the --really-force flag in any email, documentation
or
 HOWTO, just suggest the --force flag instead. Thus everybody will read
 this warning at least once :) It really sucks to LOSE DATA. If you are
 confident that everything will go ok then you can use the --really-force
 flag. Also, if you are unsure what this is all about, dont hesitate to
 ask questions on [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[root@localhost /root]# cat /proc/mdstat 
Personalities : 
read_ahead not set
unused devices: <none>
[root@localhost /root]# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/md0
mke2fs 1.14, 9-Jan-1999 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/dev/md0: Invalid argument passed to ext2 library while setting up
superblock


Any ideas on the last message?  And shouldn't 'cat /proc/mdstat' produce
something different?


...And is there a search function for this list?

Thanks,
Marco
