Subject: mdadm: SET_ARRAY_INFO failed for /dev/md0: File exists
Date: Sun, 2 May 2004 23:18:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <012001c430c5$a3e12b70$6705a8c0@a30> (raw)

Hi,

I did a fresh install of Sarge, updated the kernel to 2.4.26.  then did:

platinum:~#  mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level raid1 --raid-disks 2 missing
/dev/hdc1
mdadm: /dev/hdc1 appears to contain an ext2fs file system
    size=117218240K  mtime=Wed Dec 31 18:00:00 1969
Continue creating array? y
mdadm: SET_ARRAY_INFO failed for /dev/md0: File exists

Anyone know why am I getting this error?  This is the first time (for this
install) that I'm trying to build a raid.  Where does this file exist?  On
my system disk or on the second disk I'm trying to build the raid on?

Thanks
Jay
