| |
Hi, I'm running a pII 400 with 256Mb of ram with a vanilla 2.2.1 kernel Im trying to create a raid5 array with 4 9gig scsi seagate cheetah drives connected to the external adapter of an adaptec 2940uw controller. My os drive is also a 9gig scsi cheetah on the internal ultra scsi adapter. I have no scsi2 devices at all. I have verified proper termination and turned off the auto term in the adaptec bios. Now I have no problems with mkraid, mdadd, or mdrun. All of these raid tools report no errors. The problem comes when i try to format /dev/md0 my syntax is mkfs.ext2 /dev/md0 mkfs gets almost halfway through writing the inode tables and then i get this output
Writing inode tabels: 1969/3254 Out of Memory for mkfs.ext2 Killed and i am taken back to my command prompt I have tried this several times with the same result. I have even went into the scsi utilities and verified the media on each drive. Has anyone else seen this problem, or am I just incompetent?:) jpd
