hi everybody, I have a problem with creating a new RAID-1 array. Software: SuSE 6.3 with Std.Kernel 2.2.13-SMP (non-SuSE) Hardware: Abit BP6 with 2x400MHz Celeron (SMP-Kernel) 2x 15 GB IBM DJNA (IDE) hda: Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1869 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 638 5124703+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 639 1869 9888007+ 83 Linux Command (m for help): hdc: Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1869 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 1 17 136521 82 Linux swap /dev/hdc2 639 1869 9888007+ 83 Linux Command (m for help): /etc/raidtab: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 8 nr-raid-disks 2 device /dev/hda2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc2 raid-disk 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Failure: handling MD device /dev/md0 analyzing super-block disk 0: /dev/hda2, 5124735kB, raid superblock at 5124608kB disk 1: /dev/hdc2, 9888007kB, raid superblock at 9887936kB mkraid: aborted, see syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues. ------------------------------------------------------------------- This message appears after 1/4 second, and I don't know how to handle it. And I tried to make two devices an hda, two on hdc, all I can imagine, but no success, and I try to create a raid 4 and 5 device. Same error... :-( What is wrong? SMP? Oh, I forgot: /proc/mdstat: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5] read_ahead not set md0 : inactive md1 : inactive md2 : inactive md3 : inactive ----------------------------------------------------------------- Can you help me please I don't know what is wrong, I already had an RAID1-Device working fine, but now I don't know what to do, and I can't find the error... :-( stay clean! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joern Krebs * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://linux01.gwdg.de/~jkrebs K"onigsstieg 108 * 37081 G"ottingen / Germany Tel : +49551-64515 Fax : +49551-64504 Handy : +49171-1713359
