You are using the "new" raid tools (version 90) without having the kernel patched with the "new" raid code.
Kernel patches are found in
ftp://ftp.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha

Subject: undocumented error from /proc/mdstat: read_ahead not set
hello, i am trying to establish a raid0 array on my two ide disks,
but:
[root@serek ~]# mkraid --really-force /dev/md0
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hdc1, 26588488kB, raid superblock at 26588416kB
disk 1: /dev/hdd1, 26588488kB, raid superblock at 26588416kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
[root@serek ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
what does mean "read_ahead not set"? i am rather sure that everything
with my disks is all right.
i am not on list, so please answer on priv email.
thanks for raidtools! :-)
