It finally happened I had a disk failure in my RAID-1 system, I got a
message from SMART telling me that I had a drive failing and and
checked the mdstat and sure enough /dev/sda was missing/failed.
Ok, drive has been replaced and I did the following:
1) recreated the partition table with "sfdisk -d /dev/sdb | sfdisk /dev/sda"
2) re-added the partitions back to the raid system (eg mdadm --add
/dev/md1 /dev/sda1 etc...)
3) recreated the boot sector on the new drive ***WAIT*** ran into an
issue....
The system was upgraded (via yum) from 14 to 15 to now 16 so I had grub,
not grub2 on the system, previously it was a simple "grub-install /dev/sdX"
since grub has been replaced with grub2 I tried:
# grub2-install /dev/sda
/sbin/grub2-setup: warn: Your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit
in the embedding area..
/sbin/grub2-setup: error: embedding is not possible, but this is
required for cross-disk install.
so that didin't work, I'm doing something wrong, suggestions?
Thanks, Jeff
