Hello folks, I am using kernel version 2.4.18-ac3, mdadm - v1.2.0 - 13 Mar 2003 and wanted to take a shot at creating a RAID on an extended partition using mdadm. the commands used were (all drives were swapped off an unmounted before running these, and I am running on a motherboard with 4 IDE channels; the drives used were /dev/hde and /dev/hdg): Fdisk RESULT for hde (same on hdg as well): Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hde1 1 9052 72710158+ 83 Linux /dev/hde2 9053 36473 220259182+ 5 Extended /dev/hde5 9053 12877 30724281 fd Linux raid autodetect Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. hde: hde1 hde2 < hde5 > hde: hde1 hde2 < hde5 > Syncing disks. After that, When I tried to run: mdadm --create --force /dev/md3 --raid-devices=2 --level=1 /dev/hde5 /dev/hdg5 I get: mdadm: Cannot open /dev/hde5: No such file or directory mdadm: Cannot open /dev/hdg5: No such file or directory mdadm: create aborted I am using mdadm - v1.2.0 - 13 Mar 2003 . Is there something I am doing wrong? Please advise - Thanks a lot in advance! Regards, Mahesh __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
