I'm trying to set up a Raid 1 configuration on my linux box, and I always
get the same error, whatever the kernel I'm using.
I first tried with a Mandrake 6.1 (kernel 2.2.13-15 updated to some
version > 2.2.13-22), then with a Mandrake 7 (kernel 2.2.14).
My configuration is : PII 450, 128Mo ram, SCSI equiped, 2 IBM disks (8Go each), 2 network adapters and an Ultra wide SCSI Adaptec card.
I use raidtools 0-90 (actually mandrake rpm : raidtools-0.90-7mdk.rpm).
I read Jakob Ostergaard latest Software-raid howto, but it doesn't
mention anything about that kind of error.
The 2.2.14 kernel has been updated using Ingo's raid patch, but nothing
works.
Both disks have been re-formated during install before I run mkraid.
When I try mkraid -f /dev/md0, I get a message explaining how dangerous it can be to use the -force option, but nothing is active (/proc/mdstat).
If I do mkraid --really-force /dev/md0, I get :
"mkraid aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues"
Any idea of what is happening ? What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance
