I was running CentOS/w Xen on my home server. I decided to move to FC14 because I finally got a TV that can double as a monitor, and wanted to give KVM and VirtualBox a try. In all the excitement I forgot about my 500GB RAID1 disk set. It has all of my work from the past 10 years. I use to run these comands that I would copy and paste in after each reboot; cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 crypt1 mount /dev/mapper/crypt1 /export/data_private In CentOS all was well. Now in Fedora I know I need to recreate the /dev/md0 device but I want to do it with out harming the data on the drives. I was tried the following; mdadm --assemble /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 mdadm: device /dev/sdc1 exists but is not an md array. But these are both of my discs; Disk /dev/sdc: 500.1 GB, 500106780160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976771055 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000a75d9 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 63 976768064 488384001 fd Linux raid autodetect Disk /dev/sdd: 500.1 GB, 500106780160 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976771055 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000b30e2 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdd1 63 976768064 488384001 fd Linux raid autodetect ^C Can someone help me get on the right track with this???
