Raid1 Help needed

[s1za]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a raid1 with two 1tb external discs (disc1 and disc2) just one partition for data. The /opt and

swap are on a 1Gb flash pen (disc0). I'm able to run the raid (it syncs ok), format the device to ext3, but i'm not able to mount the /dev/md0

so i can start to copy the data. Can anyone give me help on this?

Thanks in advance

Anyone? I'm getting desperate and I need urgently to start backing up the info.
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone confirm if I need to install a recompilide firmware with raid (like stated in http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=15550) or is enough to install the raid1.o and md.o modules with insmod.

Thanks

Logic suggests you need RAID drivers compiled into kernel, and not as seperate modules.

Thank's for your reply. I'm allready gathering all the info to recompile the firmware.
