Hello,
I have installed Debian 2.2 on a Sun Enterprise 420R. Everything seems to be
working alright except software RAID, which is working fine on our x86
machines. The patch itself installs cleanly as does the kernel build, it is
just the 'fdisk' and 'mkraid' tools that give me issues:
# fdisk /dev/sdb
Command (m for help): t
Partition number (1-8): 1
Hex code (type L to list codes): fd
Changed system type of partition 1 to fd (Unknown)
# mkraid /dev/md0
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb1, 2356000kB, raid superblock at 2355904kB
disk 1: /dev/sda1, failed
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
I have tried running mkraid with the filesystem type set to 83 but this gives
the same error. This is my /etc/raidtab:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 1
nr-raid-disks 2
nr-spare-disks 0
chunk-size 4
persistent-superblock 1
device /dev/sdb1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sda1

nr-raid-disks 2
