raidctl question
I'm trying to set up a box with RAID 1 using the RAIDframe driver. I'm
not having much luck, and I was hoping someone could help me out.
Here's the configuration:
AMD K6-3/400
128 MB RAM (soon to be 256)
8.4 GB Seagate IDE drive
2 donated 18 GB IBM SCSI drives (sd0 and sd1)
Here's what I get:
# raidctl -C raid.conf raid0
raidctl: ioctl (RAIDFRAME_CONFIGURE) failed: Invalid argument
# ps -aux | grep raid
root 7340 0.0 0.2 112 304 p0 S+ 7:14PM 0:00.01 grep
raid
root 16046 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? DL 7:08PM 0:00.00 (raid)
root 12779 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? ZL 7:14PM 0:00.00 (raid)
#
On the surface, it looks like the 'pseudo-device raid 4' line isn't in the
kernel config, but it is, and I've rebuilt the kernel just to make sure
it was.
I also don't understand why raid spawns off these extra processes even
though it didn't succeed.
Here's the raid.conf file I've been using:
START array
# numRow numCol numSpare
1 2 0
START disks
/dev/sd0e
/dev/sd1e
START layout
# sectPerSU SUsPerParityUnit SUsPerReconUnit
32 1 1 1
START queue
# 100 signifies the max. number of entries in the queue.
fifo 100
Thanks in advance!
