Hi Everybody, I was wondering if you could take a look to the following and give some advice... I just have TWO SATA WD800 disks and "mdadm" says I have "three" and one of them has "failed"!!! I have 8 more raid devices and all of them saying exactly the same. I'm running debian with 2.4.19 kernel if that helps. Thanks in advance, Agustín maria:/# mdadm -D /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 00.90.00 Creation Time : Wed Sep 8 22:31:30 2004 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 14464 (14.12 MiB 14.81 MB) Device Size : 14464 (14.12 MiB 14.81 MB) Raid Disks : 2 *** Total Disks : 3 *** Preferred Minor : 1 Persistance : Superblock is persistant Update Time : Wed Sep 8 23:03:53 2004 State : dirty, no-errors Active Drives : 2 Working Drives : 2 *** Failed Drives : 1 *** Spare Drives : 0 Number Major Minor RaidDisk State 0 3 1 0 active sync /dev/hda1 1 22 1 1 active sync /dev/hdc1 UUID : 2bf99542:45c208ee:df7011a5:0e8b602f maria:/# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md1 : active raid1 hda1[0] hdc1[1] 14464 blocks [2/2] [UU] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
