oh. sorry. it was mistyping. i have done so. mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1 mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sdb1 mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mount /dev/md0 /data/disk1 scp ... [snip] Should I do format after make RAID-1(/dev/md0) device? After I format disks(/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1), do not you compose to RAID-1?
