Error creating Raid 5

[b1gnas]

umh :scratch

i have already a /lib/modules/3.14.2 folder

I have trasferred the content of the zip files in fvdw share, created right now, via ftp and

Code: Select all

root@fvdwsl-base:/ # tar -xf /share/1000/fvdw/5big1-3142-1.tar -C /lib/modules/3
.14.2
tar: invalid tar magic

[fvdw]

I will check that tar file give me a minute

Maybe your download tar file is corrupted, on my side it works.

check the md5sum of your file

Code: Select all

root@Acrab:/tmp #  tar -xvf 5big1-3142-1.tar -C ./test
asix.ko
async_memcpy.ko
async_pq.ko
....

root@Acrab:/tmp # md5sum 5big1-3142-1.tar
74ef893c00f0a0763b77b5fb2614e12e  5big1-3142-1.tar

same md5... :scratch

but if i extract it from my mac it works...so transferred the extracted files and then copied using ssh to /lib/modules/3.14.2...

now i go on

[fvdw]

check that permission of (all) the modules is set to 755 (executable)

(I checked the file posted by jocko and it extracts just fine, did you make modifications to the firmware ?)

[b1gnas]

this command

Code: Select all

dd if=/share/1000/fvdw/lib/modules/UIMAGE-3142-5big1-1 of=/dev/sda6

should be

Code: Select all

dd if=/share/1000/fvdw/UIMAGE-3142-5big1-1 of=/dev/sda6

right?

About your raid5, we may use another way to create it.

Whereas to create a degraded raid5 (with a missing disk), you can try to create a raid5 with only 4 disks.
Then format the md device.

If it works I will explain you later how to add the 5th disk and resize the md device.

[fvdw]

yes if the file UIMAGE-3142-5big1-1 is in the fvdw shared folder then your command is the correct one

[Jocko]

:pound it was late yesterday... :whistle

[fvdw]

and again check that file permission of the modules in /lib/modules/3.14.2 is set to 755 (executable)
