Hi, I am trying to setup a bootable raid1 system. When I run lilo I get the following error: Fatal: map file must be on the boot RAID partition The map file is in /boot which is on /dev/md0 the partition I want to boot from. I am also using ext3. The weird thing is that all my raid devices say that there is a total of 3 disks when there is only one: candela:/home/iain# mdadm -D /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.00 Creation Time : Wed Apr 24 18:49:32 2002 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 192640 (188.12 MiB 197.26 MB) Device Size : 192640 (188.12 MiB 197.26 MB) Raid Disks : 2 Total Disks : 3 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistance : Superblock is persistant Update Time : Thu Apr 25 01:47:37 2002 State : dirty, no-errors Active Drives : 2 Working Drives : 2 Failed Drives : 1 Spare Drives : 0 Number Major Minor RaidDisk State 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 UUID : 25bd58dd:78b56568:74efe0f8:57a0e70a I would appreciate any help as this is quite urgent.
