Hi, i'v moved my four raid5 discs from one system to another. There is a dmcrypt/luks encrypted xfs on it. mdadm seems to autodetect everything correctly: cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md0 : active raid5 sdd1[1] sdc1[3] sdb1[0] sda1[2] 4395407808 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] mdadm /dev/md0 /dev/md0: 4191.79GiB raid5 4 devices, 0 spares. Use mdadm --detail for more detail. But 'mdadm /dev/md0 --detail' outputs nothing. The last lines of strace are: open("/dev/md0", O_RDWR) = 3 fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFBLK|0660, st_rdev=makedev(9, 0), ...}) = 0 ioctl(3, 0x800c0910, 0x7fff923a4a40) = 0 close(3) = 0 exit_group(0) = ? And luksOpen fails: ryptsetup luksOpen /dev/md0 data Enter LUKS passphrase for /dev/md0: Command failed: /dev/md0 is not a LUKS partition fdisk looks ok but it cant find a partition table, but that might be normal for a raw dmcrypt disc: fdisk -l /dev/md0 Disk /dev/md0: 4500.9 GB, 4500897595392 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 1098851952 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0xc1f586ec Disk /dev/md0 doesn't contain a valid partition table Last but not least the relevant lines of dmesg: [ 2.337382] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.337454] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 2.337495] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.337526] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.337638] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.337709] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 2.337750] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.337782] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.337840] sda: sda1 [ 2.346341] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk [ 2.347128] scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access ATA SAMSUNG HD154UI 1AG0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.347329] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.347399] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2.347441] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.347472] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.347583] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.347652] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2.347694] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.347724] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.347782] sdb: sdb1 [ 2.354690] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk [ 2.354852] scsi 1:0:0:0: Direct-Access ATA SAMSUNG HD154UI 1AG0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.355065] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.355135] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 2.355176] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.355207] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.355315] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.355385] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 2.355426] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.355458] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.355516] sdc: sdc1 [ 2.359050] sd 1:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk [ 2.359207] scsi 1:0:1:0: Direct-Access ATA SAMSUNG HD154UI 1AG0 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.359419] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.359488] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off [ 2.359530] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.359560] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.359669] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] 2930277168 512-byte hardware sectors (1500302 MB) [ 2.359739] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off [ 2.359780] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00 [ 2.359812] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.359869] sdd: sdd1 [ 2.371875] sd 1:0:1:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI disk ....
