Re: URGENT "md" question: RAID partitions lack device nodes
hi ya ralf
if you are using raid1 mirroring... the assumption is that oyu want to
be able to boot from the other disk when one of the disk fails...
- make sure you partition it for "FD" RaidAutoDetec type... not "83" linux
( dont use cfdisk ... use fdisk instead )
what does your /etc/raidtab look like ???
what does your /etc/lilo.conf look like if you're using lilo to boot ??
what does your "cat /proc/mdstat" look like ???
did you do raidstart and than mke2fs /dev/md0
