softraid problem with SuSE 6.4 and 2.2.x kernel

[Clemens Ender]

hi,

I'm using SuSE 6.4 Distribution and the 2.2.16-kernel. When I compiled the
kernel I enabled RAID-option and built raid-support as modules.
I also have raidtools 0.9 installed.
I did NOT patch the kernel or something.

/etc/raidtab looks like this:

raiddev /dev/md0
raid-level 0
nr-raid-disks 2
persistent-superblock 1
chunk-size 4
device /dev/sdd1
raid-disk 0
device /dev/sde1
raid-disk 1

then I call "mkraid /dev/md0"

handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/sdd1, 8956206kB, raid superblock at 8956096kB
disk 1: /dev/sde1, 8956206kB, raid superblock at 8956096kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.

cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [2 raid0]
read_ahead not set
md0 : inactive
md1 : inactive
md2 : inactive
md3 : inactive

In the syslog files I dont find any error-message.

What's the problem here ?

Thnx for your help in advance,

Clemens

Clemens,

you are using the kernel portion of raid version 0.4 with raidtools
0.9. It does not fit. I'd suggest patching your kernel to raid
0.9. You can find the patches somewhere on the redhat server.
