Greetings,
I have tried to get the htpraid.o module working with spanned raid
disks with a hpt370 chip (it is a slightly older version). I did this
1. Setup the raid in the hpt bios
2. loaded the hptraid.o module (kernel: 2.4.24)
3. fdisk /dev/ataraid/d0 and create /dev/ataraid/d0p1
I note that:
fdisk shows one partition of 80GB (which is correct because I
have 2x40GB disks).
Also /proc/
4. mke2fs -j /dev/ataraid/d0p1
5. mount the partition and df shows 80GB.
6. run a test program that fills up the disk with many 1GB files. At
about the 32nd file I see errors from ext3 and also i/0 errors ide
controller. The error messages list the hdg device and indicate that
they can't find sectors in the second disk.
After a reboot, the raid bios marks the 2nd disk with 'broken span'.
I see from a previous posting that spanning is supported, so I maybe
missing something. Any help appreciated.
