/bin/bash: mdadm: command not found

postcd · 02-26-2014, 05:10 AM

Hello, during installation of tar.gz CentOS 5.x OS template an installer returned:

Code:

[11:57:17] # Generating mdadm configuration
[11:57:17] # chroot_command: mdadm --examine --scan >> /etc/mdadm.conf
[11:57:17] :   /bin/bash: mdadm: command not found
[11:57:17] => FAILED
[11:57:18] # Cleaning up...

Please what does it mean, how can it be fixed?

probably you need to install mdadm.

thx, man mdadm:
"mdadm is a tool for managing Linux Software RAID arrays"

my server provider told me CentOS 5.x which im trying to install dont support my type of server. But dont explained why. I think it might be right because of this? I have 2 disks in SW raid

Above error is returned when i used one CentOS 5.x tar.gz

So im unsure how to implement this MDADM into centos 5.x tar.gz, anyone have please idea? i need .tar.gz of CentOS including MDADM

(Its about OS template required by hetzner OS autoinstaller tool)

what kind of tar.gz did you try to install? to use mdadm you need to install that package: http://pkgs.org/centos-5/centos-x86_...86_64.rpm.html. I have no idea why it is not supported, please ask them.

Thx for advice, i used this OS image to install on my Dedi:

LIST: http://openvz.org/Download/template/precreated
FILE: http://download.openvz.org/template/...-x86_64.tar.gz

When that archive is extracted:

But mdadm has also dependencies?
