*** Hello list, I've been mostly lurking on this list until last week when I decided to setup software RAID on a test system and was confronted with a foolish problem I can't seem to understand:
Here's the test setup: raiddev /dev/md9 raid-level 1 nr-raid-disks 2 nr-spare-disks 0 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 8 device /dev/hda11 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc11 raid-disk 1 Here's the fstab: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda3 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda10 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda5 /root ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda8 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda9 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda7 /var/log ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/md9 /var/www ext2 defaults 0 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/sda /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 The system runs on an IBM Blade server (HS20) and systematically drops to a shell with a fsck error about superblock mismatch. The kernel used is a 2.4.25-1-686-smp and the RAID is loaded as a module (raid1 & md). Result of lsmod: Module Size Used by Not tainted ext2 53736 1 (autoclean) raid1 14384 1 (autoclean) md 61440 2 (autoclean) [raid1] mousedev 4440 0 (unused) keybdev 2276 0 (unused) hid 21476 0 (unused) input 3872 0 [mousedev keybdev hid] rtc 7784 0 (autoclean) usb-ohci 19944 0 (unused) usbcore 66636 1 [hid usb-ohci] tg3 54124 1 dm-mod 29992 0 (unused) sr_mod 14616 0 (unused) sd_mod 12076 0 (unused) scsi_mod 97664 2 [sr_mod sd_mod] ide-cd 32512 0 cdrom 29472 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] ext3 86216 8 (autoclean) jbd 46744 8 (autoclean) [ext3] ide-detect 288 0 (autoclean) (unused) serverworks 8412 1 (autoclean) ide-disk 17184 11 (autoclean) ide-core 115164 11 (autoclean) [ide-cd ide-detect serverworks ide-disk] unix 17324 8 (autoclean) What I have noticed at boot is that fsck checks the FS **before** md has loaded the driver, so I understand it barks with an error: It tries to check a FS that doesn't "exist". I've used the http://unthought.net/Software-RAID.HOWTO/Software-RAID.HOWTO.html#toc7 to setup the RAID. The only thing I can see is that "md" should maybe be compiled in the kernel? Any feedback is welcome. :-) Zoran. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
