Hi,
> Can someone shed some light on this for me please? Sounds like it could be a kernel bug. What version (exactly) are you running?
On the test machine I installed yesterday I'm running a stock debian etch. 2.6.18-4-686. I didn't do anything tricky during the installation but just simply followed the installation interface steps. The machine that gave me the problems is a 2.6.16 686 booting from xen-3.0.2-2 I also have a second 2.6.16 booting from xen-3.0.2-2. All machines are debian etch. I've done this on both the 2.6.16 and the 2.6.18.4 Start copying onto the mdadm device and then hit the reset button on the pc. On boot, everything starts as normal. no resync, nothing. Both of them. The 2.6.16 is compiled by me, but the 2.6.18-4 is etch out of the box. When I shutdown these machines gracefully, I also get Stopping array md1 (failed, busy) .... on the arrays that initramfs setup (I think). Thanks. Chris.
