Hello, I built my first RAID with 2 disks. Array looks active (please see hereafter) but I'm confusing about size : having 2 disks of 160-Gb each I expect a size of 160-Gb (correct ?) but array size seems around 103-Gb. I also received a 'Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table' Please find hereafer outputs for commands of fdisk and mdadm : 'fdisk -l' return: -start- Disk /dev/sdb: 163.9 GB, 163928604672 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19929 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 19453 156256191 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdc: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 19453 156256191 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/md0: 106 MB, 106823680 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 26080 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table -end- 'mdadm --detail /dev/md0' : -start- /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Tue Oct 17 21:26:43 2006 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 104320 (101.89 MiB 106.82 MB) Device Size : 104320 (101.89 MiB 106.82 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Tue Oct 17 21:32:33 2006 State : clean Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : 39877482:3daad5f3:a9b54997:0c328c24 Events : 0.24 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 17 0 active sync /dev/sdb1 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 -end- Cheers for help and advice.
