Hi, I hope someone can help. I have manually installed mdadm and now have a working array. I installed mdadm from the tarball, then did 'make install' My problem is after system reboot the array will not start as the daemon is not running, I guess. In order to access my files I have to re-create the array, which it complains about and then re-mount the disks, via the usual 'mount /dev/md0 /data', I know this 'mount' can be done via fstab, but I need the first part to work first. I have the following info in my mdadm.conf file: DEVICE /dev/hdb1 /dev/hdc1 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=0f0e3d1f:52580ad4:2ef6a2e7:f760e130 devices=/dev/hdb1,/dev/hdc1 I am running Debian 3.1.
