Hi all, A customer of mine have a sistem w/ very simple raid1 configuration. Yesterday, the UPS has been manually switched off by mistake. The system woke up in degraded mode but in a strange way: one of the discs does not seem to be partitioned, according to devfs. So that I cannot use mdadm to assemble the partition. More: fdisk, cfdisk and /proc do not agree on the unmber of cylinders. Only cfdisk sees it as remapped in LBA mode (9964) the others see 158816: does that mean anything usefull? Should I change the disk (3 weeks) or can I try something different? Thanks in advance sandro *:-) PS: not to mention that the disk on bus1 was partitioned exactly as the other one... # tree /dev/ide /dev/ide `-- host0 |-- bus0 | `-- target0 | `-- lun0 | |-- disc | |-- part1 | |-- part2 | |-- part5 | |-- part6 | `-- part7 `-- bus1 |-- target0 | `-- lun0 | `-- disc `-- target1 `-- lun0 `-- cd root@fw-voltimum root # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] read_ahead 1024 sectors md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[1] 32000 blocks [2/1] [_U] md1 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5[1] 995904 blocks [2/1] [_U] md2 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6[1] 1951744 blocks [2/1] [_U] md3 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7[1] 77055616 blocks [2/1] [_U] -- Sandro Dentella *:-) e-mail: sandro@xxxxxxxx http://www.tksql.org TkSQL Home page - My GPL work - 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
