I was running Fedora Core 2 and upgraded to Fedora Core 3 but am having problems following the upgrade (it won't boot due to some kernel issues). So, I thought I'd try a fresh install. I'm tring to create a RAID1 array from a couple of spare 1.5GB partitions onto which I can put the fresh O/S install. I used this command: # mdadm --create /dev/md2 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 missing mdadm: error opening /dev/md2: No such file or directory I've used "missing" since the other spare partition is on /dev/sdf which is being RMA'd at the moment - guess what make it is :) The new FC3 system is running udev with which I'm not familiar. How can I create the /dev/md2 device? Thanks, R.
