Hi.
I have a raid1 (mdadm-based) setup with two disks. I had them encrypted with
luks. Everything was ok for 2 years. My PC had a problem and I had to mount
this on a new PC.
When I tried to start the raid on the new PC it only started 1 of the disks
because the other had been replaced on a different PC and had a different
hostname (my original PC had a script to assemble the raid even with the two
disks having a different hostname).
So I tried to fix this different hostname problem by re-creating the raid in
the new PC using
mdadm -C /dev/md127 -l1 -n2 --assume-clean --metadata=1.2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc1
--uuid=1d925c8d:8c8bb953:4e9070f7:43344cf9
mdadm: /dev/sdb appears to be part of a raid array:
level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Sun Feb 12 19:40:32 2012
mdadm: partition table exists on /dev/sdb but will be lost or
meaningless after creating array
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 appears to contain an ext2fs file system
size=976760832K mtime=Mon Aug 25 19:50:27 2014
mdadm: /dev/sdc1 appears to be part of a raid array:
level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Tue Aug 26 09:10:39 2014
Continue creating array? y
mdadm: array /dev/md127 started.
All appeared to be OK:
cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1] [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
[raid10]
md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 sdc1[1] sdb[0]
976629568 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
but now luks does not open the raid:
sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md127 raid1
Device /dev/md127 is not a valid LUKS device.
Any ideas on how to re-open the raid with luks?
Note: I thought there would be no problem with the create command because of
this in the mdadm man page:
"Create Create a new array with per-device metadata (superblocks).
Appropriate metadata is written to each device, and then the array
comprising those devices is activated. A 'resync' process is started to make
sure that the array is consistent (e.g. both sides of a mirror contain the
same data) but *the content of the device is left otherwise untouched*. "
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Luis
