You want something like: mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sdc2 > centralmad:~# cat /proc/mdstat > Personalities : [raid1] > unused devices: <none> > > Moreover, dmesg says the md driver fails: > > md: bug in file drivers/md/md.c, line 1514 This is (a rather non-helpful) way of saying that you tried to start an array which contained no devices.
