    Hi,

    Could anybody please help me to resolve why this error is returned?
    (md_import_device() returned -22)

    I'm trying to setup software RAID0
    on Asus CUR-DLS (dual channel ULTRA2 SCSI - sym53c896).

    kernel is pure 2.4.1(SMP),
    with devfs, sym53c8xx and raid0 support linked in.

    raidtools are 19990824-0.90 from kernel.org.

    Here is /etc/raidtab:
    -----
    raiddev /dev/md/0

    raid-level 0

    persistent-superblock 1

    chunk-size 16

    nr-raid-disks 2

    device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
    raid-disk 0

    device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1
    raid-disk 1

    #same bus because I have only one cable right now :)

    ---------

    And here is what I got with "mkraid /dev/md/0":
    ---------
    handling MD device /dev/md/0
    analyzing super-block
    disk 0: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1, 17921008kB, raid
    superblock at 17920896kB
    disk 1: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1, 17921008kB, raid
    superblock at 17920896kB
    mkraid: aborted, see the syslog and /proc/mdstat for potential clues.
    ----------

    And syslog says:
    --------
    modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-8
    kernel: md: could not lock scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1,
    zero-size? Marking faulty.
    kernel: md: error, md_import_device() returned -22
    -----------

    Is that "modprobe" line causing problem?
    But I have compiled scsi driver in...

    Or is that a devfs issue or am I doing anything wrong?

    I would really be glad to get some pointers to the answer,
    since I can't figure that out myself.

    Thanks a lot,
    Art.
