Do you have 64MB on that card maybe? 4 x 16MB SIMMs? Or maybe bigger, but 4 of them? Try using just one in the first slot. We had similar problems and that solved it. Also, try 2.0.36 kernel. Otis -- eZines Database - 3K+ magazines, newspapers, journals, e-zines...

raid0, raidtools 0.90 and kernel 2.2.0-pre1

1999-01-12 Thread Jorge Nerin
I want to setup a raid0 stripped swap partition in an old 386 with 2 hd. It has 2.2.0-pre1, and raidtools-0.90, raid0 is a module and its loaded when trying to do this. I have tried with partitions id of 82 (linux swap) and fd (raid0??), and it always fails at the same place...

In fact it's quite simple: the md device doesn't currently support swap partitions (or swapping to files on an md device). Haven't tried it myself, but I've had two different reports that swap on RAID-1 works, from people who didn't realise that it _shouldn't_ work. I encouraged them to post

fsck raid 1 partitions?

1999-01-12 Thread Aaron D. Turner
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Ok, how do you fsck a raid 1 partition? You know how after X reboots the system fsck's your partitions? Well it doesn't because they're raid1, and hence it complains. But I can't seem to figure out how to fsck them. I can't: raidstop /dev/md5 umount

Updated Documentation?

After spending much time fighting the documentation in raid0145-19981215-2.0.36 and raidtools-0.90, and attempting every FAQ, HOWTO, and search engine I can muster. There still seems to be a lack of documentation on how to use 0.90's hot-failover. I have two RAID5 arrays with a mess of drives
