[SLE] RAID 1 setup with SuSE.
Hi all, anyone had a similar experience? I'm trying to set up a RAID 1 setup on an HP Netserver (LPR), and I've done pretty much everything the Mini-HOWTO suggested (see http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Boot+Root+Raid+LILO-3.html). But, on trying to boot with the floppy to the RAID device, I get a kernel panic - "Unable to mount root fs on 09:00". The kernel *should* support RAID 1 - I recompiled it as part of the kernel (i.e. not a module); ditto automounting. The RAID partitions are both type 0xfd (RAID automount) When trying to add the original disk to the RAID partition (to sync the disks), the boot log complains that it can't import /dev/sda3 (the original / partition) because that partition has active inodes - despite the active root fs being on /dev/md0 (which, for the moment, is located on /dev/sdb3). I'm close to doing grievous bodily harm to this ruddy thing, and wondering if it wouldn't be quicker to just use Yast's RAID wizard to set up a partition and *then* copy / to it. Any advice would be much appreciated. Gideon.
Hello. Are you trying to do software RAID ? My HP Netserver LH3 with on board hardware RAID works flawlessly with SuSE 8 Pro.
