Sorry, my fault. "dpkg -i <kernel> does not boot the new one *g* root@ned ~ # uname -a Linux ned 2.6.17-grml #1 PREEMPT Tue Jun 20 19:39:46\ CEST 2006 i686 GNU/Linux root@ned ~ # Now that should be working. > > "dpkg --list mdadm" --> "2.4.1-6" > > Newest release is 2.5.2. > 2.4.1 is 3 months old. Debian seems to be old. I downloaded the current version and replaced the binary: root@ned ~ # wget http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/source/\ mdadm/mdadm-2.5.2.tgz [...] root@ned ~/tmp2del/mdadm-2.5.2 # make [...] root@ned ~/tmp2del/mdadm-2.5.2 # mv /sbin/mdadm /sbin/mdadm_v2.4.1 root@ned ~/tmp2del/mdadm-2.5.2 # cp ./mdadm /sbin/mdadm root@ned ~/tmp2del/mdadm-2.5.2 # > > Is it true, that I should try the following lines? > > > > mdadm --stop /dev/md0 > > mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda > > mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb > > mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdc > > mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdd > > mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --force > > (check, if it worked - probably not - and if not, try the following line) > > mdadm --create -n 4 -l 5 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 "echo repair > /sys/block/md0/md/sync_action" Before that, I'd like to check again now with the latest kernel and the latest mdadm: root@ned ~ # mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm: stopped /dev/md0 root@ned ~ # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1\ /dev/sdd1 mdadm: No suitable drives found for /dev/md0 root@ned ~ # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1\ /dev/sdd1 --run mdadm: No suitable drives found for /dev/md0 root@ned ~ # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1\ /dev/sdd1 --force mdadm: No suitable drives found for /dev/md0 root@ned ~ # mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda mdadm: Unrecognised md component device - /dev/sda root@ned ~ # OK, those are other (newer) messages.
