General Support - 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?! IndieRockSteve - 14.08.2006, 19:08 Uhr Titel: 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?!
2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 doesn't seem to support RAID anymore.
Is this true or did I miss something? (I've been running 2.6.11 since all the inbetween kernels refuse to boot scsi off a mixed drive system, now 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 does, but it ignores my IDE RAID array...).

The smp version works fine...

I will install that kernel then, thanks for the info!
(hopefully my other problem with the newer kernels doesn't happen!)

There is not the slightest difference between -up and -smp or 2.6.16 in this specific regard.

slh!
Your right, I installed smp and it made no difference. So now I'm stumped. These new version boots, which is great, but now I can't get the RAID array to appear when it works fine with 2.6.11-kanotix-11!
edit I just noticed the following in my dmesg output...
Zitat:
parport0: FIFO is stuck
parport0: BUSY timeout (1) in compat_write_block_pio
DMA write timed out
md: md0 stopped.
anyone have any clues/ideas?
thanks!

hmm, comparing 2.6.11 and 2.6.17 is a bit hard...
What kind of RAID do you use, one of the few (partly) h/w RAID drivers, pure software RAID using md* devices etc.?

Disclaimer: It's been a long time since I last used (software) RAID (kernel 2.4.10), so I'm definately not informed about recent changes.
IndieRockSteve - 17.08.2006, 02:14 Uhr Titel: RE: 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?!
pure software using mdadm. its a RAID5 array with 3x PATA drives. I did a quick google search for "kernel upgrade mdadm" and couldn't find anything. I am noticing those syslog errors in 2.6.11 as well, so i think that just may be a hardware issue i may need to address later....
whats weird is that 2.6.17 doesn't even see the superblocks or anything, its like it can't read the RAID info on the drive.

It's probably in the section checks your disk read/write speeds for the various RAID modes.
I'm using software mdraid as well, but w/ 2 SATA Western Digital drives.
I suspect a bad IDE controller or your drives are starting to go... IndieRockSteve - 17.08.2006, 17:19 Uhr Titel: RE: 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?!
kenyee, yea, their old drives but they come up fine with SMART, could be the controller, though its an onboard... either way, doesn't explain why it works in 2.6.11...
kenyee - 17.08.2006, 23:41 Uhr Titel: RE: 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?!
I can see someone "fixing" a "buffer overflow error" bug while testing RAID speeds by disabling the driver if that happens... IndieRockSteve - 23.08.2006, 02:58 Uhr Titel: RE: 2.6.17.8-slh-up-1 no RAID?!
I guess I'll have to just buy a new drive =)
