Re: issue with mdadm and mirroring drives
In related questions - i hope you can answer - are :
1. why do i get an error when trying to make swap partition - i get
this error below after running fdisk, creating a primary partition
/dev/sdd2 and then changing the type - with t -
As in below ---
2. the /dev/sdd drive is the mirrored drive in the set - do i have to
set /dev/sdd1 active in fdisk ???
root@rider:~# mkswap /dev/sdd2
mkswap: error: swap area needs to be at least 40 KiB
Usage: mkswap [-c] [-pPAGESZ] [-L label] [-U UUID] /dev/name [blocks]
root@rider:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdd
