Subject: Invalid argument error on raid5 create

Neil,

I am trying to create the RAID 5 array with

>mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l5 -n6 -x1 -prs /dev/hd[bcdefgh]

However, I am getting the following error message;

>mdadm: RUN_ARRAY failed: Invalid argument

Because I used these devices as raid1, I ran ">mdadm --zero-superblock
/dev/hdx" on all of these
devices. But no help. Even I tried with "mkraid & raidtab" it still has the
same error.
Also, I tried with -f option, and with or without space between option and
its value on mdadm -C.

All of these devices are used as the whole disk without partition.

I had no problem with RAID 0 or 1.

Any clue?

Thanks,

Bo
