I am running Mandrake 6.0, I installed the raid tools, and loaded the
raid1 module using insmod raid1. When I issue an lsmod raid1 is
listed.
When I cat the /proc/mdstat file it says:
Personalities : [3 raid1]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
I created an /etc/raidtab file that looks like this:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
I created one partition of equal size on each drive mentioned in the
raidtab file
Then I issue the mkraid /dev/md0 command and it says:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk0: /dev/sdb1, 4441941kB, raid superblock at 4441856kB
disk1: /dev/sdc1, 4441941kB, raid superblock at 4441856kB
mkraid: aborted
That is all it says, mkraid aborted. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance...
