I have a RH 9.0 box with a RAID 0. I started getting some I/O errors and when I rebooted the box md0 wouldn't mount. /etc/raiddtab: ----- raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 2 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/sdb1 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdc1 raid-disk 1 ----- The problem appears to be with /dev/sdc, yet it passes all of the manufacturer's (Seagate) diagnostics. Here's what /var/log/dmesg says: ----- md: Autodetecting RAID arrays. [events: 00000095] [events: 00000031] md: autorun ... md: considering sdc1 ... md: adding sdc1 ... md: adding sdb1 ... md: created md0 md: bind<sdb1,1> md: bind<sdc1,2> md: running: <sdc1><sdb1> md: sdc1's event counter: 00000031 md: sdb1's event counter: 00000095 md: superblock update time inconsistency -- using the most recent one md: freshest: sdb1 md: kicking non-fresh sdc1 from array! md: unbind<sdc1,1> md: export_rdev(sdc1) md0: former device sdc1 is unavailable, removing from array! md0: max total readahead window set to 512k md0: 2 data-disks, max readahead per data-disk: 256k md: md0, array needs 2 disks, has 1, aborting. raid0: disks are not ordered, aborting! md: pers->run() failed ... md :do_md_run() returned -22 md: md0 stopped. md: unbind<sdb1,0> md: export_rdev(sdb1) md: ... autorun DONE. ----- Is there any way I can recover from this? I've been googling my brains out, but most of what I find relates to RAID1. Restoring from a backup is possible, but..."complicated" and is my last resort.
