I think the mdadm was uncleanly shut down
the rootfs was on nfs and the nfs server halted and was taken off.
mdadm thinks the array is clean, how to i check if its unclean without
risking my data
could this unclean shutdown result in device mapper errors like this?
best regards

my raid is a raid5 reshaped to raid6 with 2.6.30 by echoing into /sys
(all Q blocks on the last disk)
i can see all device nodes in /dev/mapper but just not mount them
if i try to mount it just says:
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
and the dmesg output as in [1]
these are the modules in my initramfs:
xfs
ext3
dm-mod
md
raid0
raid1
raid10
raid456
raid6_pq
linear
# usb-storage deps
usbcore
usbhid
libata
scsi_transport_spi
usb-storage
scsi_mod
sg
sd_mod
sbp2
Any idea what I am doing wrong? I thought the problem [1] would
be because of a misconfigured kernel with no
devicemapper support, but I think have compiled everything in?
I cannot use any other kernels than 2.6.30 or it will not assemble
the raid6 (mdadm) so I dont think i have another option than
compiling it myself, apt has only 2.6.22 or such
