Hi,
I have just finished configuring a RAID 1 array. Since my system was already
installed I used the "failed-disk" approach.
When I tried rebooting the system Linux told me that the
"persisten-superblock" was not the right size.
Here are the steps I followed:
RAIDTAB file:
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/sda1
raid-disk 1
failed-disk 1
sdb1 is a ~17Gb partion of type "fd"
I also have sdb2 as a linux swap (~128M)
Is it necessary to have a linux swap when using a RAID? Could that be the
cause of the problem (I noticed that the reported difference in the
"persistent-superblock" was small)?
Your help on that will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert Hélie
