I´m trying to get a RAID5 system running but i`ve got problems setting up the
/dev/md. I´m using a SuSE 6.3, Linux version 2.2.13 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc
version egcs-2.91.66
19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)) #1 Mon Nov 8 15:51:29 CET 1999 , and
raidtools v.0.90.2 -Alpha, 27th february 1999.
My problem is that i don`t know wether these 2 parts fit together.
After booting the standard kernel there is a proc/mdstat .
When I try :
root@foo > mkraid --really-force /dev/md0
DESTROYING the contents of /dev/md0 in 5 seconds, Ctrl-C if unsure!
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda3, 8570677kB, raid superblock at 8570560kB
disk 1: /dev/sdb3, 8570677kB, raid superblock at 8570560kB
disk 2: /dev/sdc3, 8570677kB, raid superblock at 8570560kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
Is it the wrong raidtool version, is it the wrong kernel patch (SuSE does not
respond on my queries), is there a problem with my partition configuration (i.e.
wich type has to be set on the partitions being used for RAID (ext2,fd ??))
thanks
