Hi! I have the following problem with my softraid (raid 1). I'm running Ubuntu 7.10 64bit with kernel 2.6.22-14-generic. After every reboot my first boot partition in md0 is not synchron. One of the disks (the sdb1) is removed. After a resynch every partition is synching. But after a reboot the state is "removed". The disks are new and both seagate 250gb with exactly the same partition table. Here some config files: #cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10] md2 : active raid1 sda6[0] sdb6[1] 117185984 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sda5[0] sdb5[1] 1951744 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] 19534912 blocks [2/1] [U_] <<<<<<<< this is the problem: looks like U_ after reboot unused devices: <none> #fdisk /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 2432 19535008+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 2433 17264 119138040 5 Extended /dev/sda3 * 17265 20451 25599577+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda4 20452 30400 79915342+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda5 2433 2675 1951866 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda6 2676 17264 117186111 fd Linux raid autodetect #fdisk /dev/sdb Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 2432 19535008+ fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb2 2433 17264 119138040 5 Extended /dev/sdb3 17265 30400 105514920 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb5 2433 2675 1951866 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sdb6 2676 17264 117186111 fd Linux raid autodetect # mount /dev/md0 on / type reiserfs (rw,notail) proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) /sys on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev) varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=0755) varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777) udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) lrm on /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/volatile type tmpfs (rw) /dev/md2 on /home type reiserfs (rw) securityfs on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw) Could anyone help me to solve this problem? thanks greets Berni - 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
