FC3 mdadm issue

["Aaron M. Hirsch" <aaronh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I created md0-3 during boot and now want to create another raid device which would be md4.  I've gone through the man page and searched online but am coming up blanks for an answer.  I am using FC3 x86_64...

To create the new raid device I ran:  mdadm --create /dev/md4 --level=0 --raid-disks=2 /dev/hda6 /dev/hdc6 which errors out stating: mdadm: error opening /dev/md4: No such file or directory.  Of course it's not there yet, I'm just now trying to create it.

The partitions are ready:

fdisk -l

/dev/hdc6            1675       14593   103771836   fd  Linux raid autodetect

So, the question is why am I unable to create /dev/md4?  Has anyone else ran across this?  Ideas/suggestions?

TIA!
