Before that, I'd like to check again now with the latest kernel and the latest mdadm: # mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 mdadm: No suitable drives found for /dev/md0 [ ... snip: same message with --run and --force ... ]
No idea what that means, sorry. Check the MDADM source code, as far as I remember it's well commented.
root@ned ~ # mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda mdadm: Unrecognised md component device - /dev/sda
Ack? No clue, sorry. Perhaps you've already zeroed that superblock? Check the source for the meaning of the message. Or try to get hold of our local target of godly worship, NeilB ;-).
OK, those are other (newer) messages. Do they change anything or should I try the commands above now?
Depends how careful you are. Personally, I'd probably try and find out why the above commands fail, just in case there's something wrong with your new kernel or mdadm. - 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
