Hi, I obtained this email address from Neil Brown's blog site as being the address to email if we had any issues with mdadm or Linux software RAID in general. I have an issue with some RAID1 arrays I have set up on an Ubuntu (Gutsy 7.10, 2.6.22-14-server) installation where arrays seem to randomly become degraded during the boot process. I have included some of the superblock data captured before a shutdown, and after boot. Note that arrays 5-8 are degraded after boot. It also happens with arrays 1-3 so it's not an extended partition issue. Notice that the Events field for the arrays that are degraded have a different value for both of the mirrors and even the array itself. Any suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated. I would prefer to resolve this problem before deploying the server in a production environment.
