hi

i've tried to create a raid 1 on my suse 7.2. there are 2 identical
harddisks inside. IDE 40GB IBM Drive. i've installed on the first (hda*) the
os and than create the partitions with yast on hdb*. all hdb partitions have
the same size and the same filessystem set.

hda1 = hdb1 = Linux Native
hda2 = hdb2 = Linux Swap
hda3 = hdb3 = Linux Native

now i created a /etc/raidtab

# Disk1 - raid-1 configuration
raiddev /dev/md0
        raid-level      1
        nr-raid-disks   2
        nr-spare-disks  0
        chunk-size      4
        device          /dev/hda1
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/hdb1
        raid-disk       1

# Disk2 - raid-1 configuration
raiddev /dev/md1
        raid-level      1
        nr-raid-disks   2
        nr-spare-disks  0
        chunk-size      4
        device          /dev/hda2
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/hdb2
        raid-disk       1

# Disk3 - raid-1 configuration
raiddev /dev/md2
        raid-level      1
        nr-raid-disks   2
        nr-spare-disks  0
        chunk-size      4
        device          /dev/hda3
        raid-disk       0
        device          /dev/hdb3
        raid-disk       1


1. now i will run mkraid /dev/hda1 and it will crash
handling MD device /dev/md0
analyzing super-block
disk 0: /dev/hda1, 24066kB, raid superblock at 24000kB
mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.

2. now i will run mkraid /dev/hda2 - created sucessfull
3. with /dev/hda3 the same problem as /dev/hda1
