Hello!
I'm running RedHat Linux and kernel version 2.4.21-37.ELsmp, with
raidtools: raidtools-1.00.3-8
and mdadm-1.5.0-9
At the moment I have 4 disks - sda, sdb, sdc, sdd. They're all the same
size (36G). I have 3 software raid devices; md0, md1 and md9.
For some reason, fdisk -l shows the /dev/md* "doesn't contain a valid
partition table".
/proc/mdstat says:
md1 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
35736512 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md9 : active raid1 sdd1[1] sdc1[0]
35840896 blocks [2/2] [UU]
However, fdisk -l says:
Disk /dev/md1: 36.7 GB, 36701077504 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 8960224 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes
Disk /dev/md1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
And this is the case only for the software raid (md*) devices.
but, fdisk -l /dev/sda says:
Disk /dev/sda: 36.7 GB, 36703934464 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4462 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 fd Linux raid autodetect
/dev/sda2 14 4462 35736592+ fd Linux raid autodetect
The system runs fine.. I don't see any impairment because of this... Any
ideas why, and how this can be fixed? Is this a disaster waiting to
happen?
Many many thanks!
Derek
