RE: [expert] software raid level 1

I'm running a raid0 and a raid5 under Mdk 5.3. But i hope this is the same
thing under Mdk6. And yes the documentation is not up to date... I'll give
you what i did under Mdk 5.3.
-install the raidtools package included with mdk 6
-load raidx modules (if compiled in modules with 2.2 kernel)
-create the file /etc/raidtab (you can find a sample in /usr/doc/raid-tools)
-modify this file with your configuration
-to configure the raid use the commands raidadd and raidrun instead of mdadd
and mdrun
-mkraid /dev/mdx
-mke2fs /dev/mdx

If you need more details just ask! Hope this help.

Re: [expert] software raid level 1

1999-07-29 Thread drew Roberts

What I was asking, is if it works as supplied in Mandrake 6.0, or if I need to
go further. Can I assume from your post that it does work out of the "box"?

Basically, mkraid aborts with no helpful info. I have read lots of howtos and
other info on the web, but am having problems determining what goes with what,
and a search on the mandrake site for raid turns up nothing.

Using an older version of raidtools, I was able to get md0 greated and added
(mkraid, mdadd?) but  the docs with that version said I needed to then mdrun
and there was no mdrun supplied, nor could I find one.

Basically, what should work? I don't mind poking around some more if I know it
should work.

Thanks for the offer.

[expert] software raid level 1

1999-07-28 Thread drew Roberts

Has anyone got software raid level 1 to work under mandrake 6.0? It has been
giving me grief for about a week now.

If, so, can you point me in the right direction?
