i know but when i created the fd partitions on /dev/sda and /dev/sdc those are on /dev/sda1 /dev/sdc1 fdisk -l show this: Disk /dev/sda: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x04bcb930 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 91201 732572001 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xe6433e3f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 122 979933+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 123 18845 150392497+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 18846 19457 4915890 82 Linux swap / Solaris Disk /dev/sdc: 750.1 GB, 750156374016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 91201 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0xafcd80c2 ------- so why does mdadm tell me: mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sda1: No such file or directory mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdc1: No such file or directory when i try to create the array???
