It turned out the kernel I did this with was compiled like this:


#
# Multi-device support (RAID and LVM)
#
CONFIG_MD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD=m
# CONFIG_MD_LINEAR is not set
CONFIG_MD_RAID0=m
# CONFIG_MD_RAID1 is not set
CONFIG_MD_RAID5=m
# CONFIG_MD_MULTIPATH is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LVM is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM is not set

and those modules weren't loaded. After recompiling the kernel with all
raid-options on and in the kernel, it works.

It's strange, however, that you can create a raid partition without raid
support until you reboot.

You'd expect to have 'mkraid' say:

'no RAID support in kernel - aborting'

or something like that.

Kind regards,
Jurriaan
