Find out what disk belongs to which md-set and try the --assemble option.. This should fix it, I think Theo Band wrote:
Hi I have setup software RAID two years ago using FC3 using the graphical installer (RAID1). In the mean time I installed CENTOS4.5 and everything is running fine. At least that was my perception. It now turns out that raid is not working and that LVS just finds 4 partitions from four disks and that's it.: /dev/sda2 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.88G 0 /dev/sdb1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 10.00G /dev/sdc1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 74.94G /dev/sdd1 VolGroup00 lvm2 a- 94.94G 70.81G These are 4 disk of each 200GB, and the disks have these partitions: Using /dev/sda (parted) print Disk geometry for /dev/sda: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 101.975 primary ext3 boot 2 101.975 97284.243 primary lvm 3 97284.243 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdc: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid Disk geometry for /dev/sdd: 0.000-194481.000 megabytes Disk label type: msdos Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flags 1 0.031 97237.177 primary boot, lvm 2 97237.178 194474.355 primary raid So my feeling is that I need to setup the RAID again, but I don't want to make any mistakes here, since this is a live system working fine. I tried to read the mdadm manual but it's not quit clear to me what to do. # mdadm -A --scan -v mdadm: No arrays found in config file Shows I have to do more. The previous fedora installation is still around, but is doesn't contain a /etc/mdadm.conf file. Can anyone help me with some steps to take to get it running again. I do have backups, but if things go wrong restoring takes several hours. Thanks, Theo PS. Send for the third time.
