Hi folks, I just pulled up a new machine and initially had /dev/sd[ab] as the source of a giant md device to serve as physical volumne in an LVM2 volume group, but then grub2 didn't managed to obtain my trust and I created /dev/sd[ab]1 as /boot and /dev/sd[ab]2 for the md device instead. Unfortunately, I forgot to zero the superblock on /dev/sd[ab], so now when I call mdadm -Es, it tells me about three arrays, when I really only have two. But I also cannot zero the superblock while the machine is running: khyber:/boot# mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sda for write - not zeroing I cannot take it down. Is there any other way in which I could destroy the obsolete superblocks on /dev/sd[ab]? Thanks, -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck review of a chemistry paper: "paper should be greatly reduced or completely oxidized." -- frank vastola spamtraps: madduck.bogus@xxxxxxxxxxx
