I tried something new on a test system, using the install partitioning
tools to partition the disk. I had three drives and went with RAID-1 for
boot, and RAID-5+LVM for the rest. After the install was complete I
noted that it was solid busy on the drives, and found that the base RAID
appears to have been created (a) with no superblock and (b) with no
bitmap. That last is an issue, as a test system it WILL be getting hung
and rebooted, and recovering the 1.5TB took hours.
Is there an easy way to recover this? The LVM dropped on it has a lot of
partitions, and there is a lot of data in them asfter several hours of
feeding with GigE, so I can't readily back up and recreate by hand.
Suggestions?
