From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andreas Jellinghaus Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2004 12:37:36 +0000 Subject: udev and mkraid Message-Id: List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org Hi, how to mkraid on an udev system? /dev is a tmpfs and has only inodes found via /sys (created by udevstart). Now there is no md0, so there is no md0 device in /dev, so I can't make an md0 with mkraid. But if I could, udev would create an md0 device. Oh well. Either the mkraid tool should know how to create an md device without /dev/mdX existing, or the kernel md driver should always export all possible md via sysfs, even if they don't exist, so mkraid can create them. Did I miss anything? As a hack, I'm running mknod before mkraid. But it would be nice, if some day that would no longer be necessary. It defeats the whole purpose of mkraid in my opinion. So if you know a better way, please let me know. Regards, Andreas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
