Hello,

I'm facing the following issue:

I have a reiserfs filesystem on top of a raid0 array (md1). I just created the array and the filesystem from gentoo's current installation medium for amd64.

Reiserfsck that is included on the installation medium finds no error on the filesystem.

However, reiserfsck from reiserfsprogs that I have compiled (same version), returns the following error:

Quote:
# reiserfsck /dev/md1
[...]
bread: Cannot read the block (7325599): (Invalid argument).
reiserfs_open: Your partition is not big enough to contain the
filesystem of (7325599) blocks as was specified in the found super block.
Failed to open the filesystem.


Reiserfsck suggests that I rebuild the superblock, however I'm a bit hesitant.

Here's a few extra info:

Quote:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid0]
md1 : active raid0 sdb5[1] sda5[0]
29302272 blocks 64k chunks


Quote:
# mdadm --misc --detail /dev/md1

Does anyone have any idea of what might be the problem?

Thank you

UPDATE:

Problem Fixed. Lesson learned: always use --create argument instead of --build, when creating a new array with mdadm.

Sorry for the pointless topic.
