Hello,
I am totally in trouble after I changed the partition
type to 0x8e. On SUSE7.2 I am trying to configure
LVM on SW-RAID1 with two IDEs.
I did not have any problem to configure md0, md1, md2
and then create volume group and logical volume using
the attached "raidtab" in the end.
These problems are come after I changed the partition
type to 0x8e. So I deleted all of patitions from two
IDEs and re-partition them. I still have the same
problems as follow;
1) fdisk error
Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2434 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id
System
/dev/hdb1 1 64 514048+ 8e
Linux LVM
/dev/hdb2 65 702 5124735 8e
Linux LVM
/dev/hdb3 703 1340 5124735 8e
Linux LVM
Command (m for help): w
The partition table has been altered!
Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.
Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource
busy.
2) No such file error
root@bo:~ > raidstop --all
cannot determine md version: No such file or directory
kingate@bo:~ > /sbin/mkraid
cannot determine md version: No such file or directory
kingate@bo:~ > /sbin/mkraid --really-force /dev/md1
cannot determine md version: No such file or directory
3) Partiton type
Is it OK to use the partition type "0x8e" for
LVM/SW-RAID? How about "0xfd"?
Thanks in advance,
Bo
