Sorry if these are total newbie questions.
Why can't I have more than 4 active drives in my md RAID?
Why can't I easily migrate a RAID 0 to RAID 5. As I see it RAID 0 is
just RAID 5 with a failed parity check drive?
Perhaps this is a limitation of the old v1.11 that FC4 updates to.
I tried to compile 2.3 but I get this error:
$make
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -DCONFFILE=\"/etc/mdadm.conf\" -
ggdb -DSendmail=\""/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"\" -c -o super0.o super0.c
In file included from super0.c:31:
/usr/include/asm/byteorder.h:6:2: error: #warning using private
kernel header; include <endian.h> instead!
make: *** [super0.o] Error 1
I'm not too familiar with compiling this sort of thing. (I usually
live further away from the hardware and endian issues). I'm guessing
there is some sort of option i have to specify to say that this
should use the private kernel headers. Including endian.h instead
didn't help:
$make
gcc -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -DCONFFILE=\"/etc/mdadm.conf\" -
ggdb -DSendmail=\""/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"\" -c -o super0.o super0.c
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
super0.c: In function ‘add_internal_bitmap0’:
super0.c:737: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘__cpu_to_le32’
super0.c:742: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘__cpu_to_le64’
make: *** [super0.o] Error 1
Oh just because I know it is going to be an issue I'm building on a
Athlon 64... my first 64bit linux box so I'm sure there are going to
be gotchas that I've not thought about.
Is there somewhere I over looked for finding this information.
TIA
