Hello! I am trying to use my external USB2.0 hd for raid1 in my laptop, however autodetection does not work and I do not really know - but I have at least a theory. What i did till now: 1.) set the partition-type of both partitiuons from 83 (Linux) to fd (Linux Raid Autodetection) 2.) mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid1 --reaid-devices=2 /dev/hda2 /dev/sda1 This works great on creation, I can watch with /proc/mdstat the syncing process, but if I reboot the autodetection does not work. I can see that linux-raid discovers an raid (on /dev/hda2) but something returns "-22" (have forgotten what exactly) - it seems that my usb-disc (/dev/sda1) is simply not known at raid-discovery-time. Some seconds later I can see that the kernel disvcovers my usb-drive - so I think my theory could be right? Is there a way to tell the kernel after boot where to find raid-arrays and howto handle them. Is that maybe possible with only a /boot partition and the reast on a mirrored "/" (root) partition. Please help, I don't know any further :( lg Clemens Eisserer __________________________________________________________ Mit WEB.DE FreePhone mit hoechster Qualitaet ab 0 Ct./Min. weltweit telefonieren! http://freephone.web.de/?mc=021201 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
