Some RedHat hints

t "upgrading a RAID system was beyond the scope of installation support" (of course, what I was doing was upgrading the non-RAID part). In any event, I had to physically unplug the IDE disks to get RH 6.1 to update. -- Stephen Walton, Professor of Physics and Astronomy, California State University, Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Size mismatches again

rger than the RAID created by mkraid. This causes bootup mount of the RAID to fail, since "/sbin/e2fsck -p /dev/md0" exits with an error status. What happened? Can it be fixed without re-creating the array? If not, how do I do the re-creation so that this doesn't happen again

I had _exactly_ the same problem. The only way I found around it was to go into the BIOS and manually set both disks to NORMAL instead of LBA. Attempting to set both to LBA didn't work. This is with RedHat 6.0 with the 2.2.5-22 kernel. Perhaps this is fixed in a later kernel? -- St

s 20039544 blocks (40079708 for two). None of these values match up. Did I do something un-recoverable? Can I just go ahead and run fsck anyway? Why the discrepancies anyway? Thanks in advance. -- Stephen Walton, Professor, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Northridge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
