RE: Lilo RAID-1 woes

2000-05-10 Thread Martin Munt
haviour that Chance describes below. Does anyone have any ideas why lilo-0.21.15 messes up writing both partitions when given "boot=/dev/mdN"?? I have not attempted to apply Richard Bollinger's 'lilo.raid1.also' patch yet. But I will now!

K, I confess to just spouting the words from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>'s Software-RAID HOWTO: "NOTE: Be sure that your RAID is NOT RUNNING before changing the partition types. Use raidstop /dev/md0 to stop the device." As you say, it's awkward for a root array. Regards, Martin Munt

org/pub/linux/daemons/raid/alpha. I used RAIDTOOLS-19990824-0_90_TAR.GZ and this works fine with the 2.2.14 kernel. Note that some facilities (eg failed-disk) are not available in earlier raidtools-0.9 packages. Michael Robinton has published an excellent howto http://www.bzs.org/~michael/working/BootRootRaidLilominihowto.html in which adding devices to running arrays is covered very clearly.

lilo: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0x0905

ut that would be admiting defeat. BTW, kernel=2.2.14, patched with mingo's 2.2.14-B1 with raidtools-19990824-0_90_tar.gz. The rest (including lilo) is vanilla Redhat 6.0 Thanks & Regards, Martin Munt [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
