*sigh* Thanks to me being at home and only IPMI access with relatively high latencies, I did not manage to boot into single user mode and the system booted up normally - luckily for me, both md and ext4 tell me, the file system is safe and ok. # mdadm --detail /dev/md2 /dev/md2: Version : 1.2 Creation Time : Fri Jul 27 11:58:50 2012 Raid Level : raid1 Array Size : 250050533 (238.47 GiB 256.05 GB) Used Dev Size : 250050533 (238.47 GiB 256.05 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Persistence : Superblock is persistent Update Time : Sat Aug 10 19:38:01 2013 State : clean Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Name : gitmaster:2 (local to host gitmaster) UUID : 7cb262a7:54496605:238cc0bf:6fa6a3e9 Events : 61 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 49 0 active sync /dev/sdd1 1 8 33 1 active sync /dev/sdc1 I think I got really lucky (still running checks on the git repositories on this md). Anyone who experienced such a problem with SSDs (or HDDs) being disconnected like this? Cheers Carsten
