A little help again. After being able to successfully mount in the mips machine now that i am trying to mount in a x86 machine it is not working. # root@eeepc:~# mdadm -A --update=byteorder /dev/md1 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde2 mdadm: failed to add /dev/sdd2 to /dev/md1: Invalid argument mdadm: failed to add /dev/sde2 to /dev/md1: Invalid argument mdadm: failed to add /dev/sdc2 to /dev/md1: Invalid argument mdadm: /dev/md1 assembled from 0 drives - not enough to start the array. root@eeepc:~# mdadm -E /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdc2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 9ef886db:6d1ad183:a547ee43:0d984338 Creation Time : Thu Mar 29 11:50:27 2012 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 1360279872 (1297.26 GiB 1392.93 GB) Array Size : 2720559744 (2594.53 GiB 2785.85 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Thu Apr 26 20:01:51 2012 State : clean Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 5844783d - expected 5844773d Events : 65223 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 0 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 1 1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2 2 2 8 34 2 active sync /dev/sdc2 root@eeepc:~# mdadm -E /dev/sdd2 /dev/sdd2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 9ef886db:6d1ad183:a547ee43:0d984338 Creation Time : Thu Mar 29 11:50:27 2012 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 1360279872 (1297.26 GiB 1392.93 GB) Array Size : 2720559744 (2594.53 GiB 2785.85 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Thu Apr 26 20:01:51 2012 State : clean Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 5844784f - expected 5844774f Events : 65223 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2 0 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 1 1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2 2 2 8 34 2 active sync /dev/sdc2 root@eeepc:~# mdadm -E /dev/sde2 /dev/sde2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 0.90.00 UUID : 9ef886db:6d1ad183:a547ee43:0d984338 Creation Time : Thu Mar 29 11:50:27 2012 Raid Level : raid5 Used Dev Size : 1360279872 (1297.26 GiB 1392.93 GB) Array Size : 2720559744 (2594.53 GiB 2785.85 GB) Raid Devices : 3 Total Devices : 3 Preferred Minor : 1 Update Time : Thu Apr 26 20:01:51 2012 State : clean Active Devices : 3 Working Devices : 3 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : 58447861 - expected 58447761 Events : 65223 Layout : left-symmetric Chunk Size : 64K Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 2 8 34 2 active sync /dev/sdc2 0 0 8 2 0 active sync /dev/sda2 1 1 8 18 1 active sync /dev/sdb2 2 2 8 34 2 active sync /dev/sdc2 Apparently i am getting checksum error. root@eeepc:~# dmesg ...
