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.
Did you create the raid arrays and then install on them? Or add them
after the fact? I have seen this type of problem when the initrd doesn't
start the array before pivotroot, usually because the raid capabilities
aren't in the boot image. In that case rerunning grub and mkinitrd may help.
I run raid on Redhat distributions, and some Slackware, so I can't speak
for Ubuntu from great experience, but that's what it sounds like. When
you boot, is the /boot mounted on a degraded array or on the raw partition?
Here some config files:
#cat /proc/mdstat
