Hi Bill, You need to get the latest raid kernel patch (ignore the errors it gives... one hunk is included in the 2.2.12/2.2.13 kernel) and the latest raidtools (0.90). At 03:17 PM 10/27/99 -0500, Bill Carlson wrote: >Hello, > >I'm trying to setup your basic RAID0 Software raid and running into

one of two things... Most likely you need the raid patch for the Kernel (it's for 2.2.11, but ignore and answer no to the 2 errors) and the latest 0.90-3 raidtools. At 07:31 PM 10/3/99 -0700, Rick H. Wesson wrote: >hello, > >i'm having some trouble with making some old sun disks, that were once
