Hello, I've seen this subject in here before but
I have yet to find a solution that works for me.
I have tried many different combinations including
using raidtools-19990824-0.90.tar.gz in combination
with kernel 2.2.12. The patch works fine (with one
rej that people have mentioned) and kernel compiles
wonderfully. On reboot and 'mkraid /dev/md0' I get:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 8886256kB, raid superblock at 8886144kB
/dev/sdb1 appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- use -f to override
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
If I use 'mkraid --force-really /dev/md0' I get:
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 8886256kB, raid superblock at 8886144kB
disk 1: /dev/sdc1, 8886256kB, raid superblock at 8886144kB
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
If I take out the persistant superblock statement in my raidtab
I get same as above without the disk 0; etc sequence.
I did notice with 'cat /proc/mdstat' I get:
[root@cssstpc1 /root]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [translucent] [hsm]
read_ahead not set
unused devices: <none>
and I know before I had devices show up in there (I was using
raidtools .40 before but now I have 10 devices and I get core dump
using those (above shows just 2 devices I know but I am just testing).
Should I see
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
as I did before? If I use raidstart etc I get same invalid argument
error. My raidtab is:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level linear
nr-raid-disks 2
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
I have tried with different kernels patches etc to no avail. I did
notice in previous posts something to the effect of:
"> I use a clean 2.2.12 + patch-2.2.13pre11.gz "
and don't know what that is referring to.
All help is appreciated..thanks
