Hello,
I'm trying to set up a 2 drive raid level 0 array.
I have gotten to the point where I run mkraid /dev/md/0 (Note: I'm using devfs
so the device names will look a bit strange) and it successfully intializes the
array. I can make a filesystem and mount it just fine but when I reboot the
kernel does not automatically detect it. I made all of the relevant partitions
type FD and enabled the persistent-superblock. Still no detection. Any
hints?
Here is my raidtab (Note again: I'm using
devfs):
raiddev /dev/md/0
raid-level
0
nr-raid-disks
2
chunk-size
32
persistent-superblock 1
device
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part5
raid-disk
0
device
/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/part5
raid-disk
1
Other possibly relevant information:
kernel version 2.3.51
the partitions in the array are on two drives on a
Promise
Ultra66 card
when I boot I do see a few lines about md and raid0
but
when I look at /proc/mdstat the
array is not detected
Finally, if I run raidstart then it works again.
So, there is nothing wrong with the actual array (I think).
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
Avery
