I installed Suse Linux Professional 8 on a HP Netserver LC3 PII/450. An
AHA-2940 UW Scsi host adapter with a AIC-78XX Scsi Protocol Chip/50 pin
high density scsi-2 control. I have a raid (3 drives) off the host
adapter and a 80 gig scsi drive off the mother board. After launching
yast2 the first raid has the following device: LD0 raid 5 34730R:
device_name /dev/sda, vendor megaraid. Disk two (80 gig drive) has LD1
raid 0 70006R: device name /dev/sdb vendor the same as above. There was
no raidtab file so I created one with the following:
raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 1(little sketchy on this because it is three drives that
make up the raid)
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent superblock 1
parity-algorithm left-symmetric
chunk-size 2048
device /dev/sda
raid-disk 0 (sketchy here as well)
#Second drive
raiddev /dev/md1
raid-level 5
nr-raid-disks 1
nr-spare-disks 0
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 2048
device /dev/sdb
raid-disks 1 (sketchy as well)
Trying to follow the procedures and I type:
mkraid /dev/md0 and I get:
Handling md device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sda, 35563520kb, raid superblock at 35563456kb
Second drive I get:
Handling md deviice /dev/md1
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdb, 71686144kb, raid superblock at 71686080kb
I then type cat /proc/mdstat and get the following:
Personalities [RAID5]
read_ahead not set
md1: inactive sdb [0]
71684096 blocks
md0: inactive sda [0]
35561472 blocks
unused devices: <none>
If I read this correctly both are inactive when it should be stating
that they are active. At this point I am baffled any suggestions or
possible directions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ed
