Hey, Having a great deal of difficulty getting my 3 disk RAID 5 array to reappear on restart, Ubuntu 6.10. Here's the contents of my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf file: ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 UUID=6a9a102a:101addd2:f95758f6:11ac6d3c Obviously /dev/md0 does not "appear" on restart, the only way I can get the RAID Array to assemble is to issue the following: mknod -m 0660 /dev/md0 b 9 0 mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 I can add these lines to my /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh which does work, but seeing as I'm not 100% sure what the mknod command is doing, and the fact that I'm pretty sure that this is not the way it's mean to be... (the mknod is required, or mdadm complains that /dev/md0 does not exist). I'm nearly tearing my hair out over this one, so if someone could be of assistance I would be greatly appreciative.

Reeves. - 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
