I am curious if partitioning meta devices is allowed or not.
I just created a software raid array, md0 with 240G logical size.
I want to partition that into two, 100G and the rest.
I used fdisk to create the partitions, and it worked, result:
bangalore exports # fdisk /dev/md0
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/md0: 247.0 GB, 247044636672 bytes
2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 60313632 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/md0p1 1 24414064 97656254 83 Linux
/dev/md0p2 24414065 60313632 143598272 83 Linux
however, I couldn't create any file system for them, or mount them.
/dev/md0px just don't exist.
Do I need to partition the drives first before creating the raids?
I use devfs instead of file based /dev
Thanks,
