Sorry to say this, but since I'm new to the Linux world, I've followed few steps but can't get it mounted and to be used on Samba. Bascially trying to make a simple SOHO server inraid for file system. 1) I might have made few errors on Druid disk at the beginning of the installation (I will redo tonight - I think I've found a good doc to help) 2) Regardless of the above, this is what I did... mdamd --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 cat /proc/mdstat (it said compeled pretty quickly since I,ve made partitions of 5 gigs out of both 250 gig sata drives for raid purpose. The main drive is for the OS, these 2 are extra storage.) Tried to configure automount but don't know how (vi /etc/fstab adding /dev/md0 /home vfat defaults 1 2). I think I'm missing a step in filesystem they say on some doc... "Now, you can create a filesystem, just like you would on any other device, mount it, include it in your /etc/fstab and so on." What are the procedures ??? Thanks for reading my question. Can you help you think? -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Knowlton [mailto:cknowlton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: June 16, 2005 2:14 PM To: pluk@xxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: linux-raid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RAID - mdadm Help. (Newbie in Linux) Need more data. What problems are you having? I had a little difficulty getting used to the new syntax of the mdadm utility after using the old raidtools pkg on the 2.2 and 2.4 kernel. However, after studying the man pages for mdadm(8) and mdadm.conf(5) (glossing over them didn't help me much, there is a lot of important detail there!), I finally got the hang of it. mdadm is a powerful tool! I've grown to really like it.
