Hi. I hope someone can tell me what I have done wrong. I have a 4 disk Raid 5 array running on Fedora9. I've run this array for 2.5 years with no issues. I recently rebooted after upgrading to Kernel 2.6.27.7.

[root@homepc ~]# mdadm --examine --scan
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=2 UUID=c57d50aa:1b3bcabd:ab04d342:6049b3f1
 spares=1
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=50e3173e:b5d2bdb6:7db3576b:644409bb
 spares=1
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=4 UUID=50e3173e:b5d2bdb6:7db3576b:644409bb
 spares=1
[root@homepc ~]#

I saw Debian do something like this to one of my raids once and it was because /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf had been changed through an upgrade or some such to use
md0_X, I changed it back to /dev/md0 and the problem went away.

You have another issue here though, it looks like your "few" attempts have lead to multiple RAID superblocks. I have always wondered how one can clean this up without dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsk & (for each disk, wipe it) to get rid of them all, you should only have [1] /dev/md0 for your raid 5, not 3.

Neil?

Justin.

The difference in my case is that I don't have /dev/md_d0 in /etc/mdadm.conf and have never had that. It seems that something is automatically creating it at boot and that has changed in the last few days.

Wait for Neil I guess...
