I've been struggling for endless hours to get a RAID1 device setup in SuSE 6.4 but to no avail. I've scoured the net looking for help, read all the HOW-TO and MAN pages but I still can't get mkraid to initialize my raid device. After dd'ing my two devices /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc to completely wipe them, I fdisk 1 gig partitions with type fd. I set up my /etc/raidtab to look like: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 0 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hdb1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 1 but when I issue mkraid /dev/md0 I get various flavors of errors but all ending in: mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues. there are no clues in the /var/log/messages or /var/log/warn files to help me decipher what I need to do. When I cat /proc/mdstat I get: Personalities : [1 linear] [2 raid0] [3 raid1] [4 raid5] read_ahead 128 sectors md0 : inactive hdb1 hdc1 2122784 blocks md1 : inactive md2 : inactive md3 : inactive Has anyone been able to get RAID to work on 6.4 that can give me some pointers? -Mark Enzenberger -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
