Trying to debug why it failed to write metadata. $ sudo mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l5 -n5 /dev/loop{1,2,3,4,5} --auto=yes mdadm: Defaulting to version 1.2 metadata mdadm: Failed to write metadata to /dev/loop1 $ lsmod | grep raid raid456 65757 0 async_memcpy 12529 1 raid456 async_raid6_recov 12795 1 raid456 async_pq 12912 1 raid456 raid6_pq 97812 2 async_pq,async_raid6_recov async_xor 12855 2 async_pq,raid456 async_tx 13330 5 async_pq,raid456,async_xor,async_memcpy,async_raid6_recov $ sudo losetup -a /dev/loop0: [0805]:3444372 (/home/shirish/dd0) /dev/loop1: [0805]:3444702 (/home/shirish/dd1) /dev/loop2: [0805]:3444745 (/home/shirish/dd2) /dev/loop3: [0805]:3444747 (/home/shirish/dd3) /dev/loop4: [0805]:3439411 (/home/shirish/dd4) /dev/loop5: [0805]:3444771 (/home/shirish/dd5) Used this command to create dd1 through dd5 $ sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=~/dd0 bs=1k count=1000 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
