Hello list, my Debian GNU Linux Sarge is working with a static kernel with the following /etc/fstab: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/md2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/md1 /boot ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/md7 /home ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,auto,nouser,async 0 2 /dev/md8 /opt ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/md5 /tmp ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,auto,nouser,async 0 2 /dev/md6 /var ext3 defaults,nodev 0 2 /dev/hda10 none swap sw 0 0 I have tried to setup the swap-partition to /dev/md3, but after this change the system comes up with a lot of errormessages. Some daemons cant create files and so on. I have created the swap partition like this: mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level 1 --raid-device=2 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdc3 mkswap /dev/md3 /dev/hda1 1 124 62464+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda2 125 2062 976752 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda3 2063 5937 1953000 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda4 5938 155061 75158496 5 Extended /dev/hda5 5938 6930 500440+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda6 6931 10899 2000344+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda7 10900 12884 1000408+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda8 12885 16853 2000344+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hda9 16854 24791 4000720+ 83 Linux /dev/hda10 24792 28760 2000344+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/hdc1 1 125 62968+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc2 126 2110 1000440 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc3 2111 6079 2000376 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc4 6080 28902 11502792 5 Extended /dev/hdc5 6080 7072 500440+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc6 7073 11041 2000344+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc7 11042 13026 1000408+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc8 13027 16995 2000344+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/hdc9 16996 24933 4000720+ 83 Linux /dev/hdc10 24934 28902 2000344+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris It does not work.
