PRODUCT: SUSE Linux i386 9.2 Professional
I think the 'subject' says it all.
I have four 1.6 terabyte 'drives' which I need to combine into one logical
volume.
I know how to use both software RAID & LVM 2 , but neither of them are
working here.
I assume something needs to be done to the kernel?
Using software RAID to combine these partitions, whenever I try to format
(mkfs), it goes out to lunch.
With LVM, the format appears to work OK. When copying files to it, after
~5 GB , the partition becomes read-only !?!
I have tried both Reiser & EXT3 filesystems.
Thanks.
