Is the /dev/ataraid/d0p? only for stripping (RAID0)
or is that for mirroring (RAID1) as well? I got the patched kernel 2.4.10
running according to ataraid howto and the devices the kernel is
recognizing is hde?[1,2,3,4] and hdg?[1,2,3,4]. ((I have 2 WD 20gig drives, 1 on
ide2 and 1 on ide3)) I've changed lilo.conf to reference /dev/hde and fstab to
mount partitions from that device accordingly. I have also booted it with
lilo.conf set to /dev/ataraid/d0 and fstab set to
/dev/ataraid/d0p?[1,2,3,4] It seems to be booting and running just fine
either way. Does that mean everything is
working that way it is suppose. Do I need to be using d0p? instead of
hde? Is there a test to show it's mirroring the way it is suppose
to?
Also, there is a boot message right before
the first PDC20265 that says:
"ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO
modes; override with idebus=xx"
Is that for the CDROM on ide1(master) or that for
the RAID ide's? I thought the raid for this was suppose to run at
100Mhz?
btw. Thank you very very much for all you work on
this Arjan.
