Hi, I have a raid array setup with 6 sata drives (500gb) and 4 ide drives (250gb). My intention was to setup the disks as follows. Personalities : [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md2 : active raid6 md1[6](S) md0[7] sda[0] sdf[5] sde[4] sdd[3] sdc[2] sdb[1] 2930318976 blocks level 6, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/6] [UUUUUU__] [>....................] recovery = 0.0% (249556/488386496) finish=880.0min speed=9242K/sec md1 : active raid0 hdh[0] hdc[1] 488396928 blocks 64k chunks md0 : active raid0 hde[0] hdb[1] 488396928 blocks 64k chunks unused devices: <none> All works well until a system reboot. md2 appears to be brought up before md0 and md1 which causes the raid to start without two of its drives. Is there anyway to fix this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/A-raid-in-a-raid.-tf4117582.html#a11709647 Sent from the linux-raid mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - 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
