Is there some new trick to making raid devices on Centos5?
# mdadm --create /dev/md3 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1 mdadm: error opening /dev/md3: No such file or directory
I thought that worked on earlier versions. Do I have to do something udev related first?
The above command tries to define the same device twice /dev/sdc1. Is it a typo in message or original command?
Yes, this was answered in a previous response. It was a typo and the solution is to add --auto=yes for systems that don't already have the device nodes.
Oh yeah... Udev broke a lot of my previous knowledge ( or maybe my foolish reliance on devices already "being there"). I guess when I get my first "live" systems running on CentOS 5 next month I will get to relearn stuff again.
