OK, I upgraded my kernel and mdadm: "uname -a": Linux ned 2.6.13-grml #1 Tue Oct 4 18:24:46 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux "dpkg --list mdadm" --> "2.4.1-6" Now I get slightly different messages. The problem seems to be the superblocks. Can I repair them? root@ned ~ # date;cat /proc/mdstat Mon Jul 10 10:41:45 CEST 2006 Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid5] [multipath]\ [raid6] [raid10] unused devices: <none> root@ned ~ # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1\ /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sda1: Device or resource busy mdadm: /dev/sda1 has no superblock - assembly aborted root@ned ~ # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1\ /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --force mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sda1: Device or resource busy mdadm: /dev/sda1 has no superblock - assembly aborted root@ned ~ # If I omit the sda1, the message is repeated but with the missing superblock of sdb1. - 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
