Hi,
I just have two questions:
1.)Where can I find why mkraid aborts (itself gives no explicit error
but just aborts) and/or what is my misconfiguration? Where can I find
more
help (web)?
2.)Do you know if it is better to run one Harddisk without UDMA on
the second bus (that does not support UDMA) instead of both on the same
bus with UDMA-66?
for 1.):
I want to use Softraid but I mkraid aborts and I can't find any Errors.
My Configuration is a SuSE Linux 6.4 with Kernel 2.2.14. The Kernel is
not
patched by me but I could configure:
[*] Multiple devices driver support
<*> Linear (append)
mode
<*> RAID-0 (striping)
mode
<*> RAID-1 (mirroring)
mode
<*> RAID-4/RAID-5 mode
[*] Boot support (linear, striped)
My Harddisks are IDE and both on the same bus. This one bus is UDMA-66
and the
second is just normal.
My Raidtools are
mkraid version 0.90.0
My /proc/mdstat looks like this:
Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive
My Partitions have the same size and my /etc/raidtab looks like:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/hdb2
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb3
raid-disk 1
mkraid /dev/md0 outputs:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hdb2, 2048287kB, raid superblock at 2048192kB
disk 1: /dev/hdb3, 2048287kB, raid superblock at 2048192kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
Where is this syslog? or how can I see "potential clues"?
Thank you very, very much.
Yours,
Felix
