Hello,
I apologize if this is a FAQ question or a typical newbie question,
but by google efforts have yielded anything yet.
I built a RAID-1 using mdadm (Centos 4.2 with 2.6.16.19 kernel
and mdadm 1.6.0-2). It's just two SATA drives that I created using:
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=raid1 --raid-devices=2
/dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
The md built correctly and I built an ext3 on it. I created /etc/mdadm.conf
and modified /etc/fstab to mount the device. But when I reboot, the kernel
drops into RAID repair mode because it can't seem to find /dev/md1 and
yells about not finding any valid superblock (I can get the exact message
if needed). However I can mount /dev/sda1 with no problems.
The only way I can get md1 back is to issue the command:
mdadm -A /dev/md1 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1
and everything works. I want to have /dev/md1 mounted automatically
on boot. I'm missing something simple here - how do I do this?
TIA!
Jeff
