Ok.. I'm stumped... I'm trying to build a raid-0 using a bunch of HD's.. I read the howto at http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/ and read a bunch of docs. The array is made of fo 10 disks. I know this may not be the best for performance, but it really doesn't matter. It's just for data warehousing. When I tried to build the array, it scrolled all 10 drives, then gave this error:
mkraid: aborted (In addition to the above messages, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat as well for potential clues.) So I did that... syslog says: kernel: md: array md0 already exists! then one second after that error, I get: kernel: Device not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. I'm not sure if that particular error has anything to do with it, but I suspect it does. So, then if I do cat /proc/mdstat I get: Personalities : read_ahead not set md0 : inactive unused devices: <none> So then if I do raidstart --all, I get: /dev/md0: already running. WTF? Is the thing working or not? What do I need to do to mount it to find out? Any help, as always, appreciated. :) Michael
