hi,
I am using a RHEL 7.2 OS using SATA disks.
--One disk as the OS
--4 disks as the data disk
intention is to create 2 pairs of RAID 1
I have earlier performed the steps of preparing the disks for raid by removing any previous raid settings and preparing drive partitioning.
i.e. the steps 1 and 2 based on this URL :
http://www.tecmint.com/create-raid1-in-linux/
Some of the disks were used as the RAIDZ2 data disks for a FREENAS previously,
but should have been wiped clean.
when i entered "mdadm -A -s"
Output: " mdadm: No arrays found in config file or automatically"
However,when I tried proceeding to create the RAID 1 settings,
"mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=mirror --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[b-c]1"
I received this output:
"mdadm: You haven't given enough devices (real or missing) to create this array"
Could the devices have already been created? or there is some old settings I need to remove?
Any advice appreciated.
