Software raid (md) support missing in Knoppix 5.0.1

[geojunk]

Hi,
I just donloaded knoppix 5.0.1, booted with it, and noticed the software raid devices (/dev/mdX (X=0 on up)) are missing. I've noticed there are /dev/.static/dev/mdX's, but when I try to create a software raid array with those devices I get:
mdadm: error opening /dev/.static/dev/mdX: No such device or address
Also /proc/mdstat is missing.
So what happened to software raid? Knoppix 4.0 had all of this, was there a decision to remove software raid completely from the kernel?

Thanks,
David

Hi David

I had the same problem.

Do these:

modprobe raid1
mknod /dev/md0 b 9 0

If you need more,

mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1

then do the mdadm create and it works

Thanks
Hari
