RAID - Linux kernel upgrade 2.2.16 to 2.4.20
I've just upgraded a server from Linux 2.2.16 to 2.4.20 ... and it's running quite well, except the RAID part.
I have 2 disks which are striped (RAID0) which were assigned to /dev/md0. After the upgrade i receive this message when running mdadd -ar Warning : no checksum field for /dev/md0 /dev/hda3: No such device /dev/hdb1: No such device /dev/md0: No such device I discovered I was using the old raidtools-0.41. I upgraded to the latest 1.00.3. Made a new /etc/raidtab which is comparable to the old /etc/mdtab. And then I tried to use the upgrade parameter to mkraid ... # mkraid --upgrade /dev/md0 Handling MD device /dev/md0 analyzing super-block cannot upgrade magic-less superblock on /dev/hda3 mkraid: aborted The syslog says: kernel: md: invalid raid superblock magic on hda3 Is it possible to upgrade the old md disk to be supported in the 2.4 kernel? How? Or am I doing something wrong here? :confused: I do need to keep the old data ... any ideas are welcome! |
