raidtools patch for 2.0.36?

1998-11-22 Thread Stephen Costaras

I have a 2.0.35 system patched with raid0145-19981110-2.0.35, using raidtools-19981105-0.90, with drives sda and sdb. I'd like to add sdc and sdd and build a RAID-5 array from sdb, sdc and sdd; but not lose the data currently on sdb. My thought was to build a "degraded" RAID-5 ar

Hi all. Ok, I figured out the message in /pub/linux/daemons/raid points to an old version of the raidtools, so I got 0.90 to compile on 2.0.36. However, it appears mdadd is now replaced with mkraid, but it doesn't work for me: [root@devel raidtools-0.90]# ./mkraid --configfile /etc/raidtab /de
