Hi,

I have a problem with mkraid

I am working on a Red hat Linux ver 7.0
kernel version: 2.2.16
No raid patch
no raid tools

when I run
#mkraid /dev/md0

when I check /proc/mdstat,I find md0 active
with raid information.

But when again I run
#mkraid /dev/md0
I get an message:
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0:/dev/hde1,2109681kB,raid superblock at
2109568KB
/dev/hde1 appears to be already part of a raid
array-- use -f to force desctruction of the old
superblock
mkraid: aborted,see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for
potential clues.

I tried -f option, but no use.

I did a reboot and once again mkraid, but still
I get the above messages.
Please let me know where am I wrong , How can I
do mkraid succesfully again?

Expecting reply from you

with regards,
Anil

This is Linux-RAID specific and not material for the linux-kernel
list.

Please, just post your questions to linux-raid, not linux-kernel.

And most importantly, when you ask me these exact same questions in direct
e-mail anyway, it is a little wasteful to also trouble this list with your
question as well.

Thank you,
(and you got the answer in the reply to the direct mail two minutes ago)

He isn't reading the docs..

I agree that making RAID fully work (including RAID'ed root-fs) takes some
nicely hacking, but not that can be done without docs.

I did it, so can anyone else
