Howdy,
Are the RAID patches going to be integrated into the 2.3.X
release of the kernel? We've been patching the kernel for
quite a while now (I have been for over a year now).
As far as I can tell, the raid patches are fairly stable (i.e.
they haven't changed drasticly in the last 2 or 3 m
yes, you can reduce the size of blocks by one in ext2fs, as long as the
blocks are 4k or greater, then mkraid will copy disk one onto disk 2, etc.
and the raid SB will takeup its space at the end of the disk.
this only works for raid1 though, cause under raid5 your fs will be larger
than a single
Hi,
I've patched my kernel to 2.2.9 (After applying the 19990421-2.2.6 (To
2.2.6)...
It worked until 2.2.9, then it appears to work but an array will
never sync under 2.2.9... it just gradually increases the estimated time
to completion forever
Any ideas? I know there was some buffer chan
Hi
Most of the problems with raidtools 0.90 belong to a missing kernel
patch, a missing "--really-force"-option to mkraid and a missing
recompilation of the kernel and last a reboot to activte the new
raidtools.
Are you sure that you have done all those things before?
Greetings, Dietmar

For the past 4-5 weeks I have had a successfully running raid0
array on 2 4gb scsi disks.
Today, I took the system down to install a new tape drive so that
I could do backups on said raid0 array.
To make a long sad story short, the array insists on thinking its
a raid1
I was wondering if a new patch for the 2.2.9 kernel is forth-coming anytime
soon, or if the patch against the 2.2.6 kernel applies ok against the later
kernel.
I was looking to move to the newer 2.2.9 kernel on some of my machines here.
But will hold off if raid isn't patchable yet.
BTW/ what's
Robert, why are you running raid on 1 disk???
What benefit do you expect to derive from running raid on a single
disk?
Unless you have a special application, there is **NO** point to
creating a raid array from one disk.

This reminds me.. mke2fs has a blocks-count argument that, if you omit

Hi
I have to apologize to all the people who shared this discussion the
last days for my ignorance of the difference between linux paging and
hp-ux swapping.
I have read documentation about kernel and kernel programming with a
chapter referring to paging swapping.
I am very sorry.

I can not get raidtools-0.90 to work. I have attempted everything I know
to do. I have used the raidtools-0.50 before with no problems. I am
running the following:
Redhat Linux 6.0 with 2.2.8 recompiled kernel.
448MB RAM
raidtools-0.90
I have a IBM 9GB drive split into 3 partitions of equal s
I have successfully set up a raid-1 array as my root partition
using the latest tools and patches with kernel 2.2.7.
I have a couple of questions:
1) I removed power to the one drive for a while to verify
operation. I restored power and rebooted but it's not
reconstructing the array.
I don;t know much about other open source backup solutions, but I can
vaouch for amanda. It is a nice tight complete system that does a ton of
administrivia for you...
