Hi,
Re: Software Raid Problem
----------------------------------------
Background
------------------------------------------
OS= Opensuse 10.2
2 X 250gb Sata drives
Drive 1
----------
/dev/sda1 = swap
/dev/sda2 = linux raid (os & data is here)
/dev/sda3 = linux raid
Drive 2
----------
/dev/sdb1 = swap
/dev/sdb2 = linux resiser
/dev/sdb3 = linux reiser
---------------------------------------------------------------
Using mdadm I managed to create /dev/md0 in raid 1 (mirror).
/dev/sda3 & /dev/sdb3 where added to this set.
Good so far....now for the problem....
Problems Area
-----------------------
Using mdadm I failed to create /dev/md1 in raid 1 (mirror).
/dev/sda2 & /dev/sdb2 where part of this set.
I get this error: mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sda2: Device or
resource busy.
I booted from rescue CD, and ran the mdam command to create /dev/md1
... and it worked! I let the raid sync.
When I reboot, I get this error:
mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy.
mdadm: /dev/sda2 has no superblock - assembly aborted
How to do I solve this?
Your help will be appreciated.
Regards
