I have had a couple of replies to my recent message ("Can't create
filesystem on large degraded IDE Software RAID-5" on 3 July), for which
I am grateful. But no one has yet been able to address the fundamental
error. I was hoping that one of the gurus on this list might be able at
least to explain what that error meant.
As a reminder, when trying to create a filesystem on a large RAID-5 in
degraded mode, I get the message:
raid 5: switching cache buffer size, 4096 -> 1024
and the system freezes completely, requiring a hard reset. Can anyone
tell me what this message means, and why it would freeze my machine?
I have created filesystems on the individual partitions of which the
raid is composed without difficulty, so it would seem to be a
raid-related problem.
Cheers,
Bruno Prior
