If you boot knoppix and manually assemble the array does it assemble
cleanly
or does it need a resync as well?
Well, I used my last CD-R on the WD Data Lifeguard. But, I think I
know what you are driving at. Booting Mandriva 2009 into Rescue mode,
then choosing "Mount your partitions under mnt" does cleanly start the
array.
Following that further, I booted off /dev/sda1 (where my small
Mandriva system is currently installed), then I disabled the mdadm
service in /etc/init.d/. I then waited for the system to do the
resync and rebooted the system. Then logged into the system.
Just for grins, could you post the partition table for each disk? Maybe
just the output of "fdisk -l" to show everything? I always worry when
using drives of "almost" the same size.
Sure, identical tables for all six drives:
Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320071851520 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x733f1de9
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 2433 19543041 fd Linux raid
autodetect
/dev/sda2 2434 2677 1959930 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 2678 38900 290961247+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 2678 38900 290961216 fd Linux raid
autodetect
Configuration is three RAID1 for '/', '/tmp' and '/var'. RAID10 for
/home as the larger array.
