This problem is probably a rehash, but here goes: I have three disks in a RAID 5 volume. For some reason, now when I boot, I get the following: Mar 14 21:18:57 shadow kernel: md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one Mar 14 21:18:

Hi, thanks to Jakobs really helpful HOWTO I managed to set up a well-working RAID1 based on the 990309-edition, inklusive RAID1 of the boot partion. However, smaller problems remain: - If you change the type of a partion to "FD", a active inode will be kept for this partion after auto-detectio

How does one "ckraid" with raidtools-19990309-0.90 ?

[ I'm new to the list, so feel free to point me at TFM ... ] I have built a Linux 2.2.2 kernel with raid0145-19990309-2.2.3 and RAIDs 0 and 1 seem to work just fine (linear seems to need a chunksize!). With the demise of "ckraid", how can I do I "check all is well" test ? Also, how do I say "the

Hi, If you look in the devices.txt under /Documentation, you'll see that SCSI disk devices 96-111 have major number 70 ... and 112-127 have major number 71. So, mknod /dev/sddx b 71 240 should create the device file for the 128th SCSI disk. Does it answer your question ? Olivier > -- >
