okay, I tried -f and saw this email, so I hope you can lend me a hand...
I have:
sdb 4.2GB UWSCSI, 1 partition (sdb1)
sdc 9.0GB UWSCSI, 1 partition (sdc1)
I want:
/dev/md0 = 13.2GB striped partition
I did:
-compiled kernel 2.2.3 with MD support built in for all levels (not as modules)
-installed raidtools-0.90-19990128.i386.rpm
-created /etc/raidtab:
#start raidtab
raiddev /dev/mdo
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sdc1
raid-disk 1
#end raidtab
-issued:
% mke2fs /dev/sdb1 -R stride=64
% mke2fs /dev/sdc1 -R stride=64
% mkraid /dev/md0
handling md device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 4441941kB, raid superblock at 4441856kB
/dev/sdb1 appears to contain an ext2 filesystem -- user -f to override
mkraid: aborted
% mkraid -f /dev/md0
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C is unsure!

disk 1: /dec/sdc1, 8883913kB, raid superblock at 8883840kB

Now what? Am I doing this right? I ge the feeling i'm not. Any help
appreciated!
