OK so I read about this "0.90 metadata" but could not find |
| 20 |
details (syntax) of when and exactly how to use this information. |
| 21 |
OK, so, I've rebooted and got the md1, md2, md3 renamed by |
| 22 |
(whatever) to md125 md127 and md126, respectively. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I changed the fstab like so: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
#/dev/md1 /boot ext4 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 27 |
#/dev/md3 / ext4 noatime 0 1 |
| 28 |
#/dev/md2 swap swap defaults 0 0 |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
none /proc proc defaults 0 0 |
| 31 |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,rw,user 0 0 |
| 32 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
/dev/md125 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 |
| 35 |
/dev/md126 / ext4 noatime 0 1 |
| 36 |
/dev/md127 swap swap defaults 0 0 |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I put ext2 on /boot, re-emerged grub, edit the grub.conf, |
| 40 |
but when I run grub I still get HD that cannot be found? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
grub> root (hd0,0) |
| 43 |
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xfd |
| 44 |
grub> root (hd1,0) |
| 45 |
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0xfd |
| 46 |
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 |
| 47 |
Error 15: File not found |
| 48 |
grub> find /grub/stage1 |
| 49 |
Error 15: File not found |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
All the files are in /boot/grub... |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
ext2 support is built into the kernel, with extended attributes. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
ideas? (syntax and steps to repeat after a reboot?) |
| 56 |
Its my first software raid on gentoo, so I'm sure I've |
| 57 |
mucked things up a bit.... |
