My impression was that the s/w raid code only wrote to the ends (last 4k) of each device, so I'm trying to clarify the following paragraph from http://ostenfeld.dk/~jakob/Software-RAID.HOWTO/Software-RAID.HOWTO-4.html#ss4.7 The persistent superblocks solve these problems. When an

When I first set up my Raid 5, I made the partitions with Fdisk, and started /dev/hdc1 at block 0, the end was the end of the disk (single partition per drive except /dev/hdc5 is type whole disk). It ran fine until I rebooted, when it came up and said there was no valid superblock. I

RE: raid on 2.2.9

1999-01-02 Thread Bruno Prior
Do we need to patch Linux 2.2.9 before we can use the raidtools (like mkraid) to install raid. yes 2.2.9 was not a good version for RAID (or generally - filesystem corruption problems). It is recommended to upgrade to 2.2.11+ or drop back to 2.2.7. Either way, you will still need to

I've got one machine running this (2.0.37) and it works fine. I've got several Pentium I/II machines using 2.0.37 with raid 990824 patches and for me it's ROCK SOLID, even on SMP boards. I consider this a most stable Linux with SW-RAID setup, but your mileage may vary. :-) Egon Eckert

I'm using the 0.50 tools and RAID works but the 2.0.38 kernel was never patched. The tools did not contain any info that specifically stated that a patch was needed and for the most part, the tools work and I can get raid running. However I am starting to see some strange behaviour such as
