Hello,
is it possible to have partitions on a RAID device?
I tried to use fdisk/cfdisk for that. I could set up partitions named
md0p1, md0p2 and so on. The names were given automatically by the tools.
After quit and restart, cfdisk showed the partitions I just set up.
But the corresponding special files were missing, so I created
them using mknod.
After a reboot, cfdisk still reported the partitions to be on the RAID
device, but whenever I try to run a mke2fs, it reports
mke2fs: Device size reported to be zero. Invalid partition specified, or
partition table wasn't reread after running fdisk, due to
a modified partition being busy and in use. You may need to
reboot to re-read your partition table.
Anything I am missing here?
TIA,
arne
