But those are warnings, not errors. What is the error you see when you boot and can not mount?
Carlos, the last line is probably key: "can not find reiserfs on md0"
I saw it, but it is not conclusive. The thing is, a raid device (md0) can have a partition table and several partitions, or be directly formatted as reiserfs or whatever.
Yast2 Disk was used to make the RAID disk. It is supposed to be a reiserfs disk but I'm not sure if that means each are done independently or ... ? My partition table (create using "yast2 disk") has : Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda2 2469 3641 9422122+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda3 * 3642 9964 50789497+ 83 Linux /dev/hda5 2469 2599 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hda6 2600 3641 8369833+ fd Linux raid autodetect Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdc1 * 1 25 12568+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc2 75001 116336 20833344 5 Extended /dev/hdc3 26 75000 37787400 83 Linux /dev/hdc5 75001 76974 994864+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc6 76975 93411 8284216+ fd Linux raid autodetect And my /etc/raidtab is : raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 4 device /dev/hda6 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc6 raid-disk 1
<5>ReiserFS: md0: found reiserfs format "3.5" with standard journal
but if it had a partition table, the message would be different. Thus I need more information, the error messages, to decide.
I'm wondering if /dev/md0 really exists on that system? I'm not 100% sure what I need to do to give you the answer to this. Is the following what you want ? $ ls -l /dev/md0 brw-rw---- 1 root root 9, 0 Jan 1 18:28 /dev/md0
