RAID again
Hi!
I was full of testing the raid5 stuff without getting nowhere, so I tried a
raid0, as this one doesn't need to run mkraid.
I think I don't have to repeat the configuration, but just in case...
The machine is a Sun Enterprise 3000 with 2 micros and 256 megs of ram, It
currently runs 2.2.19 with SMP support, the distribution is Debian Potato
2.2R3, raidtools version 0.42-21.
So, I run mdcreate and I get my /etc/mdtab with this contents:
/dev/md0 raid0,16k,0,c410a271 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd8
and then I tried: /etc/init.d/raid start
but it failed, so I run mdadd -ar manually and still failed.
Ok, I rebooted in case there was something wrong because of having been
playing with the raid5 stuff, and this is what I get on booting the machine:
Loading modules: raid0 raid0 personality registered
raid5 raid5 personality registered
Adding md devices.
sys32_ioctl: Unknown cmd fd(8) cmd(20000901) arg(00000000)
/dev/sda1: Invalid argument
sys32_ioctl: Unknown cmd fd(8) cmd(20000901) arg(00000000)

/dev/sdd8: Invalid argument
sys32_ioctl: Unknown cmd fd(8) cmd(20000902) arg(00020002)
/dev/md0: Invalid argument
As you can see I have the raid0 personality registered, the module loads
perfectly, and the partitions are there and I have tried a mke2fs -c on them
and they work perfectly, so I just don't know what can be going wrong here.
I have set up a raid0, a raid1 and a rai5 at home on a pentium machine, no
problems at all, but on the sparc I'm just getting problems all the time,
any help will be appreciated, as I don't know what to test.
Regards...
