I relyed on cfdisk managing the cylinder boundaries correctly and i think it did. after reformatting, and before rebuilding the array, fdisk - l /dev/hdc showed the proper partitions ... this happened when the mirror was rebuilt. also, the file system type i selected when i created the partitions was hex FD -- raid filesystem. >> Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary: >> phys=(1023, 254, 63) should be (1023, 15, 63) > >> /dev/hdc5 64 1052 497983+ 82 Linux swap >> /dev/hdc6 1052 39812 19535008+ 83 Linux >> /dev/hdc7 39812 59192 9767488+ 83 Linux >> /dev/hdc8 59192 79401 10185178+ 83 Linux > >all of your "start" cylinder numbers is wrong > >your system will crash big time one day hc -- :O >--------------------------------------- > >> # cat /proc/mdstat >> >> Personalities : [raid1] >> read_ahead 1024 sectors >> md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc[1] >> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc[0] >> 40021568 blocks [2/2] [UU] > >good ... --> look for the [UU] hc -- what does the [UU] mean? hc -- obviously, my partition is faulty but how can i fix it? do i have to repartition (again) and reformat (again)? this didn't seem to help the first time. thanks! harland > >c ya >alvin > >-- >To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] >with a subject of "unsubscribe".
