Message-ID: <40C9AAA4.4020603@prairie.lakes.com> (raw)
why would mdadm be creating a md device (raid1) that was larger than the
partition table?
these are two identical seagate 120's --debian 2.4.26 with raid compiled in.
i have built the partition tables with fdisk cfdisk and parted same
problem everytime . everything is fine
up until i boot at which time it say's the superblock is larger than the
partition by about 20 or 30 blocks
I have built several other raid1 system's over the last year and have
not seen this problem before.
to add the drives to the array i boot under a recuse disk and sync under
the rescue disk. same mdadm
version as they were built with. The partition tables match in all cases
-- with fdisk i kept everything on cyl
boundaries.
where and how does mdadm check partition size?
thanks
rob
