Silo on RAID 1

[Frans van Berckel]

Dear team,

How am i gonna sole this error, with a fresh Silo install on RAID 1?

~ # cat /target/boot/silo.conf

root=/dev/md1
partition=0
default=Linux
read-only
timeout\x100

image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        initrd=/initrd.img

image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=LinuxOLD
        initrd=/initrd.img.old

~ # /target/sbin/silo -r /target

/etc/silo.conf appears to be valid
Fatal error: File systems other than ext2, ext3, ufs and romfs not yet
supported

~ # df
<snap>

/dev/md0 93207 26714 61681 30% /target/boot

/dev/md2 26766048 45096 25338260 0% /target/home

~ # mount

/dev/md0 on /target/boot type ext2

/dev/md1 on /target type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-
ro,data=ordered)

/dev/md2 on /target/home type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

Thanks,

Shouldn't your partition index for silo be 1 if you are following this
guide? Silo counts partitions 1-n not 0-n like grub etc...

https://www.unix.com/linux/141253-sparc-linux-raid1-silo.html

Sorry it took me a bit to get this to go to the list I don't post here
often and the HTML email rejection is pretty stout ha!

Are you sure? Because the Silo readme from David's tree calls ...

"Note that numbers start at 0, rather than Linux's convention of
starting at 1, so sd(0,3,1) is /dev/sda2."

Please checkout docs/README.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/silo.git/

Thanks for supporting,

A bit lower from the same readme calls...

"With old proms, you type prom paths as dev(X,Y,Z) [e.g. sd(0,3,1)].
With new proms, you type the open boot prom style strings such as
/iommu/sbus/espdma/esp/sd@1,0 terminated with a semicolon (;) to
specify disk. Then the partition can be specified, defaulting to the
(optional) partition=Z line in the main section in silo.conf. /dev/sda2
is '2'."

But changing 0 to 1, I am still getting ...

/etc/silo.conf appears to be valid
Fatal error: File systems other than ext2, ext3, ufs and romfs not yet
supported.

So I have to look over something.

Thanks,
