Hi,
I would really like to use stable potato, 2.2.17, but I can't
get software raid working under debian for the life of me...
I originally created the raid devices a year or so ago, on redhat 6.?,
which
used their custom kernel 2.2.5-15, and can use them fine if i boot into
redhat or
debian using that kernel.
I compiled a couple of new kernels, 2.2.17, 2.2.18, and make sure raid
is enabled
but I get the same errors...
/etc/raidtab looks like:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 3
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 16
device /dev/hdc11
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hde11
raid-disk 1
device /dev/hdg11
raid-disk 2
i'm using the raidtools2 package, I believe
raidstart --version: raidstart v0.3d compiled for md raidtools-0.90
but raidstart -c /etc/raidtab /dev/md0 results in this error:
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
fdisk thinks the drives look like:
/dev/hdc11 3188 3270 41800+ fd Linux raid autodetect
but /var/log/kern.log says:
Dec 26 12:07:14 boz kernel: Oops ! md0 not running, giving up !
Dec 26 12:07:14 boz kernel: Bad md_map in ll_rw_block
Dec 26 12:07:14 boz kernel: EXT2-fs: unable to read superblock
and # cat /proc/mdstat:
Personalities : [2 raid0] [3 raid1]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
I tried making new raid devices using mkraid, but that fails too...
thanks for any advice,
patrick.
