Can not create RAID 5 partition for install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



???What am I missing??????

I've tried repeatedly to install 8.0 into a system that has 3 hard
drives for a software based RAID 5 setup.

I am able to go through disk druid just fine... only when it tries to
install to the hard drives do I get this error:

"The Kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/hdd
(device or resource busy). This means linux knows nothing about any
modifications you made. You should reboot your computer before doing
anything with /dev/hdd "...The only option at this point is "Ignore". 

I get this message on all three hard drives (HDA,HDD,HDC), I then have
to cycle through the errors 6 times (2 for each drive).  Then the
installer will actually go through and act like its installing the
software. Once I reboot there is nothing found for a partition table. 

I want to set it up like this to get maximum redundancy.  Apparently I
can not set up a /boot or /swap within a RAID 5 partition. 

RAID 5 /dev/MD0 

HDA 
/boot
/swap
/software RAID

HDB
/free space (same size as /boot and swap on other drive)
/software RAID

HDC
/free space (same size as /boot and swap on other drive)
/software RAID
