I am running Red Hat 6.1 on this particular computer which appears
to have raidtools v0.90, etc . . . all the latest working patches.
I had two mirrored partitions that were 8 & 6GB and we needed a 14GB
partition. Rather than repartitioning the disks (and having to
reinstalling the system), I concatenated the partitions and then
remirrored (from raid 1 ro raid 1+0). I did a mkfs on the file system,
mounted it and it appears to work OK. Since than, I have not been able
to backup the partition with dump. I can use tar and it appears to work.
The output of the dump command is:
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Tue Apr 18 14:48:51 2000
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/md8 (/apps) to /dev/null
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 260613 tape blocks on 0.01 tape(s).
DUMP: Volume 1 started at: Tue Apr 18 14:50:02 2000
DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING!
Segmentation fault
The original devices were md6 as a mirror and md7 as a mirror.
I did a raidstop, on the old devices, reconfigured raidtab and
did a mkraid on md6 and md7 then on md8 and then a mkfs on md8.
My /etc/raidtab for those devices is:
raiddev /dev/md6
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1
#nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hda5
raid-disk 0
# device /dev/hdc1
device /dev/hda12
raid-disk 1
raiddev /dev/md7
raid-level 0

chunk-size 64k
persistent-superblock 1

device /dev/md6

Is there something I am overlooking? Would I be better off
reloading the system?
