Hi all,
I'm running a RAID-60 array with mdadm. There are two RAID6 arrays,
/dev/md/d0 and d1, and then a RAID0 "meta-array" over that,
/dev/md/tank.
What happens on boot is that the d0 and d1 arrays are assembled, but
the tank array isn't - Ubuntu drops me to a root shell because it
couldn't find the tank partition for mounting from fstab. However, I
just have to do a simple 'mdadm --assemble --scan', and the tank array
pops up instantly and everything is fine.
How do I instruct mdadm to wait for d0 and d1 and do kind of a second
assembly pass to construct tank over them?
/proc/mdstat, output of 'mdadm --detail --scan' and
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf are included. I hope that's enough background
information.
Thanks!
