Trouble with Raid 1

[dave at microway.com (David Backeberg)]

Doug:

It looks like you got a pretty good clue from your messages....

Working Devices : 1
 Failed Devices : 1

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       3       72        0      active sync   /dev/hdb8
       1       0        0        1      faulty

So hdb8 is working okay. What is the other partition you want to use with your 
raid1? By definition, raid1 is mirroring, which means you need two partitions 
of equal size, or one partition where you only use as much space is the 
smaller of the two partitions.
