Hi,

I am creating a raid1 partition, but i get this error:

nfsroot:/opt/boot# mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=1
--raid-disks=2 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdc2
mdadm: chunk size defaults to 64K
mdadm: /dev/hda2 is too small: 1K
mdadm: /dev/hdc2 is too small: 1K
mdadm: create aborted

What does it mean, and how can i fixit?

My disk configs:
