Hello Gentlemen!
I hope you can help me to solve the following problem, 'coz I am stuck :)
My goal is to set up RAID1 (mirroring) on two 20GB UDMA66 drives.
I have an Abit BP6 mainboard with HighPoint UDMA66 controller, which works
fine. The drives are 2 x 20GB Seagate Barracudas, UDMA66.
Unfortunately, mkraid refuses to prepare the devices for me:
<root@serwer | ~># mkraid --really-force /dev/md8
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md8 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md8
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hde9, 15221556kB, raid superblock at 15221440kB
disk 1: /dev/hdg9, 15221556kB, raid superblock at 15221440kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
<root@serwer | ~># mkraid --really-force /dev/md7

I don't believe anythings goes logged in the syslog.
Here's my /proc/mdstat:
<root@serwer | ~># cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [3 raid1]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
md4 : inactive
md5 : inactive
md6 : inactive
md7 : inactive
md8 : inactive
<root@serwer | ~>#
and the uname: Linux server 2.2.13 #2 SMP Tue Dec 28 21:52:25 CET 1999
i686 unknown (Yes, it really has such an original hostname ;-> )
Distro: Mandrake 6.1, raidtools-0.90.
(Sorry for a lengthy attachments, but they may be useful)
TIA 2 all! Every help appreciated (e-mail only, please)
