Hi,

I have the following problem: I'm trying to configure a RHEL 3 cluster with two servers and a shared RAID-5 controller packed with six (6) 143GB.

So far, I can see the 700GB+ device (Since it's RAID5 I'm only using 5 disks) on /dev/cciss/c1d0.

Then, I create a 180GB partition using 'parted /dev/cciss/c1d0'

mkpart
primary
ext2
0
180000

but when I try to mkfs the partition table for the array disks get all screwed up and I can only see one (1) partitions wich takes up all the space on the device (700GB)... same thing happens no matter if I create two, three or any other number of partitions on the device..... This is the command I'm using:

mke2fs -b 4096 /dev/cciss/c1d0p1

If anyone can help me I'll appreciate it....

Thanks in advanced....
