My raid array won't boot, gives a kernel panic - attempt to kill init
message and goes into endless reboots.
MB is a supermicro 2P with opteron 2376 4-core cpus, centos sw raid,
installed C5.3, updated as possible, currently c5.10. 5 seagate 750GB
drives as raid-10 and hot spare. we set this up about 5 years ago and
IIRC we set aside the first 10GB on drive 0 as a boot partition.
Grub runs and the system tries to boot 2.6.18-308.20.1.el5xen, sees a
dirty raid array and
md: md0: raid array is not clean - starting background reconstruction
which looks hopeful but then
md10: not enough operational mirrors for raid 10
and then the panic and reboot.
ideas? stuff to read? diagnostics?
TIA,
Dave
