rsutherland Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Has anyone tried raid 1, mirror, in LM9.0? I have used this with little fuss on 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2. But now I am having lots of problems. I was trying to set this up at work but now, with beer in hand, I am wondering if supermount is involved. I find enters in /etc/fstab and icons on the desktop that don't make much sense. Is anyone else having problems or better luck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alan.hughes Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 I've heard (but have not confirmed) that there are problems with RAID-1 in MDK 9. RAID-0 and RAID-5 are OK however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsutherland Posted October 22, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 OK after it set over night I think supermount or something gave up trying to add the new drives to /etc/fstab. Possibly Maxtor had formatted them with (FAT?) which supermount seems to have the sweets for. After I formatted them as something else supermount may have got the idea and left them alone. Whatever the case making raid went much more normally. One other question if anyone knows, I looked around but did not find the size of EIDE disk LM9.0 kernel is able to support?

Counterspy Posted October 22, 2002 Report Share Posted October 22, 2002 Supermount is indeed screwed up. Disable it with supermount -i disable from the command prompt. I don't know where you might find the answer to the largest ide drive question, but you could start with the Mandrake documentation in the main menu on your desktop. Next I would try MandrakeExpert or the newsgroup alt.os.linux.mandrake. Counterspy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
