Hello, I have installed my Linux-System, Debian Etch, whith a Live-CD from a tar.gz-file. I have created the partitions of the disc with the type "fd" and made the MD-devices with the Live-CD. After mounting the required md-devices, I have extract the System from the tar.gz-Archiv. The System works fine. After some tests with madam, I stopped a MD-Device. After this, the stopped MD-devices was not in the /proc/mdstat. --> Thats OK After this, I have created the Raid new: mdadm --create /dev/md8 --raid-devices=2 --level=1 /dev/sda10 missing mdadm: /dev/sda10 appears to be part of a raid array: level=raid1 devices=2 ctime=Tue Dec 18 17:42:58 2007 Continue creating array? y mdadm: array /dev/md8 started. After the next reboot, the System can't mount the md8 ! If the md8 is in the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, mdadm is starting the device, but previus the stopping and the (re)creating of the md8-device, the device comes up without the entry in the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. Why ???? What can I do to start the md8 without the entry in the file ?? Can anyone help me ????
