Software RAID problems (bad filesystem type)

[Timo Railo <timo@tmoby.com>]

Hi!

I'm having problems getting software raid to work with my IDE drives. I  
had Redhat9 installed previously on the same machine (with working  
software raid setup), but I'm now moving to Debian.

My kernel is 2.4.18-bf2.4 and has support for RAID1, which I'm trying  
to create. I'm following these instructions (thank you Lucas for  
excellent instructions!):

http://www.cs.montana.edu/faq/faqw.admin.py? 
query=1.22&querytype=simple&casefold=yes&req=search

All goes well up to point 8 (I'm able to create raid, put ext3  
filesystem on it and even mount it). But that's only the first mount.  
After reboot, when trying to mount, I get this error message:

"mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/md0,
       or too many mounted file systems
       (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
       ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)"

I've tried zeroing the superblock, with no help. Also tried recreating  
the partitions (times x) and tried recreating filesystem.

Please help, I'm really running out of ideas.

Thank you very much,

Timo Railo
