I found the problem. The power was unplugged from the drive. The sata power connectors aren't very good at securing the connector. I reattached the power connector to the sata drive and booted up. This is what it looks like now: root@recoil:/home/illsci# mdadm --detail /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Mon Jul 30 21:47:14 2007 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 1951744 (1906.32 MiB 1998.59 MB) Device Size : 1951744 (1906.32 MiB 1998.59 MB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 1 Preferred Minor : 0 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Wed Dec 19 13:48:12 2007 State : clean, degraded Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 1 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : 157f716c:0e7aebca:c20741f6:bb6099c9 Events : 0.44 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 1 0 active sync /dev/sda1 1 0 0 1 removed root@recoil:/home/illsci# mdadm --detail /dev/md1 /dev/md1: Version : 00.90.03 Creation Time : Mon Jul 30 21:47:47 2007 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 974808064 (929.65 GiB 998.20 GB) Device Size : 974808064 (929.65 GiB 998.20 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 1 Preferred Minor : 1 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Wed Dec 19 13:50:02 2007 State : clean, degraded Active Devices : 1 Working Devices : 1 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 UUID : 156a030e:9a6f8eb3:9b0c439e:d718e744 Events : 0.1498340 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 0 0 0 removed 1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2 How do I put it back into the correct state?
