Hello,
I am trying to convert a raid1 partition from reiserfs to ext3 by
setting one drive faulty, removing it, creating a new degraded raid1
set, copying data from the reiserfs partition to the ext3 one.
Here is the /proc/mdstat output before starting the conversion:
Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [multipath] [raid6]
md1 : active raid1 hdb2[0] hda2[1]
313152 blocks [2/2] [UU]
md0 : active raid1 hdb1[2] hda1[1]
77834816 blocks [2/2] [UU]
Once /dev/hdb1 and /dev/hdb2 have been marked faulty and removed lilo
will fail with the following message:
Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0000 (NFS/RAID mirror down ?)
The lilo.conf has:
# boot=/dev/md0
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/md0
# raid-extra-boot=mbr
compact
install=/boot/boot-menu.b
map=/boot/map
delay=20
vga=normal
default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
read-only
image= /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-madrid
label=Linux-2.4.22
read-only
I commented out "raid-extra-boot" and replaced "boot=/dev/md0" with
"boot=/dev/hda" but the error persists.
After running a few tests it appears lilo will only stop complaining
once the original raid1 set is restored _and_ synchronized.
This the first time we have this kind of error, having done the same
conversion on other machines. This is with debian unstable and a 2.6.6
kernel.
Any idea? Thanks in advance,
