Hi
I have a drive from a software raid set that I'm trying to reformat.
When I try and reformat it i get the following results
[root at ns ~]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdc1
mke2fs 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
/dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!
I see the drive has been marked as being raid from this.
[root at ns ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities :
md_d0 : inactive sdc1[1](S)
244195904 blocks
unused devices: <none>
How do I remove the raid association so I can reformat it ?
Thanks
G
