Hello, i have a little problem. Our server has an broken RAID. # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sda1[2](F) sdb1[1] 2096064 blocks [2/1] [_U] md2 : active raid1 sda3[2](F) sdb3[1] 1462516672 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 sda2[0] sdb2[1] 524224 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> I have remove the partition: # mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 mdadm: hot removed /dev/sda1 from /dev/md0 # mdadm --remove /dev/md2 /dev/sda3 mdadm: hot removed /dev/sda3 from /dev/md2 Now i want to add the old partition (to sync the raid), unfortunately, comes an error message: # mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 mdadm: failed to write superblock to /dev/sda1 What is wrong here?
