I accidentally ran mkswap on an md raid1 device which had a mounted ext3 filesystem on it. I also did a swapon, but I don't think anything was written to swap before I noticed the mistake. How much of the partition is toast, and is it something e2fsck might fix? Luckily I have a recent full backup, but it would be easier if there was a quick fix! :-) Thanks, Dan (For the curious: I made the mistake because my fstab file had md0 and md1 reversed, because a few kernel revisions back the kernel decided to name them differently. And for some reason, the "mount" command reports the wrong information from my fstab rather than the right information which is (for example) in /proc/mounts. Is this a bug? Moreover, shouldn't the mkswap command check whether a device is in use before overwriting it? I realize this isn't the right list for these questions...) - 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
