remove "count" ..this is what it should look like
form meta from dev 5131, config=striped, stripe_size=1920;
add dev 5132 to meta 5131;
add dev 5133 to meta 5131;
add dev 5134 to meta 5131;

thanks a lot
it works, but why does the system doesn't accept the param count=3 ?
if you have the response it will be great !
thanks

thanks to reply
i test the value 1920 on stripe_size but i have the same result
perhaps it was because i want to create a meta RAID3+1 but all hve free are only on two DF: 01A:C28 and 01B:D28
no ?

ohh..you are telling symcli to pick the members, try to manually create it. Some of the members probably wrap around and that's why symcli fails ..that's just a guess.

form meta from dev 5131, config=striped, stripe_size=1920;
add dev 5132:5134 to meta 5131;
will also do,if devices are contiguous.
