User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/mdadm
Enable the following options in the kernel configuration and recompile the kernel, if necessary. Only the RAID types desired are required.
Device Drivers --->
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) ---> [CONFIG_MD]
<*> RAID support [CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD]
[*] Autodetect RAID arrays during kernel boot [CONFIG_MD_AUTODETECT]
<*/M> Linear (append) mode [CONFIG_MD_LINEAR]
<*/M> RAID-0 (striping) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID0]
<*/M> RAID-1 (mirroring) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID1]
<*/M> RAID-10 (mirrored striping) mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID10]
<*/M> RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode [CONFIG_MD_RAID456]
First, fix a problem inroduced by gcc-4.9.0:
sed -i 's/Wall -Werror/Wall/' Makefile
Install mdadm by running the following commands:
make
If you wish to run the tests, ensure that your kernel supports RAID
and that a version of mdadm is not already running, and issue:
make test and then,
as the root
user: ./test
Now, as the root
user:
make install
make everything
: This target creates
extra programs, particularly a statically-linked version of
mdadm and also
versions of mdassemble. These all need to be
manually installed.
