Hi, I need help with RAID-0 array. I would not ask it here if I were able to find information what to do in my case. Ok, the problem. Our datacenter had a power failure and after that I am trying to bring up all services at one our server that uses partitioned RAID-0 array for Oracle tablespaces. I was partiotioned and fdisk sees it: # fdisk -l /dev/md1 Disk /dev/md1: 366.5 GB, 366555955200 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 89491200 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/md1p1 1 15869142 63476566 83 Linux /dev/md1p2 15869143 31738284 63476568 83 Linux /dev/md1p3 31738285 47607426 63476568 83 Linux /dev/md1p4 47607427 89491200 167535096 5 Extended /dev/md1p5 47607427 63476568 63476566 83 Linux /dev/md1p6 63476569 79345710 63476566 83 Linux /dev/md1p7 79345711 80566414 4882814 83 Linux /dev/md1p8 80566415 89491200 35699142 83 Linux but, I have: # mdadm -A /dev/md1 --auto=part8 mdadm: that --auto option not compatable with device named /dev/md1 It can be assembled only as non-partitioned, --auto=part or mdp do not work also. I need my partitions back, but I don't understand what I can do. The kernel is from RHEL-4 2.6.9-22.EL.roothugemem (custom build for RedHat 9). It was working before the power failure. -- Anton Petrusevich - 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
