I am trying to get RAID-1 running with dual SCSI drives.
I read the Software-RAID HOWTO and followed the steps outlined
there. However.. when I get to the part to run mkraid,
it returns the following..
> # mkraid /dev/md0
> handling MD device /dev/md0
> analyzing super-block
> disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 16064968kB, raid superblock at 16064896kB
> disk 1: /dev/sdc1, 16064968kB, raid superblock at 16064896kB
> mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
There is nothing in the syslog. /proc/mdstat contains....
> # more /proc/mdstat
> Personalities : [3 raid1]
> read_ahead not set
> md0 : inactive
> md1 : inactive
> md2 : inactive
> md3 : inactive
I have reached a dead end..
System is a dual P3-500 running RH 6.0 with 2.2.14 Kernel.
raidtools are version 0.90.0
Here is my /etc/raidtab ...
> # cat /etc/raidtab
> raiddev /dev/md0
> raid-level 1
> nr-raid-disks 2
> nr-spare-disks 0
> chunk-size 4
> persistent-superblock 1
> device /dev/sdb1
> raid-disk 0
> device /dev/sdc1
> raid-disk 1
The only other RAID related messages I saw were in the system log
when the raid1.o module was loaded..
> Mar 31 17:34:31 sam kernel: raid1 personality registered
/dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are empty 16 GB Linux partitions on
identical 18 GB SCSI drives.
Now what?
