I have two disks set up in a raid 0 array like so: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 64k nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/hda2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 1 Where hda1 is the boot partition. This worked well for several months, until several days ago the machine refused to boot because it couldn't start the array. So, I put the array in another machine and changed the raidtab around like so: raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 persistent-superblock 1 chunk-size 64k nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/hdd2 raid-disk 0 device /dev/hdc1 raid-disk 1 but I still can't get the array to come up. md says these things: md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256,MD_SB_DISKS=27 md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. (read) hdd2's sb offset: 29287360 [events: 000000d0] md: autorun ... md: considering hdd2 ... md: adding hdd2 ... md: created md0 md: bind<hdd2,1> md: running: <hdd2> md: hdd2's event counter: 000000d0 md: device name has changed from hda2 to hdd2 since last import! md0: former device hdc1 is unavailable, removing from array! request_module[md-personality-2]: Root fs not mounted md.c: personality 2 is not loaded! md :do_md_run() returned -22 md: md0 stopped. md: unbind<hdd2,0> md: export_rdev(hdd2) md: ... autorun DONE. I don't understand why it thinks hdc1 is unavailable. How do I get it to tell me more / start the array? Does this mean hdc is busted?
