Doing 'my homework', to my read, this is what I think needs to be done. Am I right? In general (1) Boot from a LiveCD (2) stop the arrays (3) make changes The details should look like this. 1st checking cat /proc/mdstat | grep ^md md0 : active raid1 sda1[0] sdb1[1] md1 : active raid1 sdb2[2] sda2[0] md2 : active raid10 sdc1[0] sdf1[3] sde1[2] sdd1[1] ??? QUESTION: Why does the 'md1' line refer to "[2]" & "[0]"? Why is there no "[1]" instead of "[2]"? Is this a problem that needs fixing? For mdadm --detail --scan ARRAY /dev/md0 metadata=0.90 UUID=xxx... ARRAY /dev/md/Rescue:1 metadata=1.0 name=Rescue:1 UUID=yyy... ARRAY /dev/md2 metadata=1.2 name=server:md2 UUID=zzz... I'd do this? mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm --stop /dev/md/Rescue:1 mdadm --stop /dev/md2 mdadm --uuid=xxx... --update=super-minor --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[ab]1 mdadm --uuid=yyy... --update=super-minor --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sd[ab]2 mdadm --uuid=zzz... --update=super-minor --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sd[cdef]1 mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm --stop /dev/md1 mdadm --stop /dev/md2 mdadm --uuid=xxx... --update=name --name=server1_boot --homehost="<none>" --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[ab]1 mdadm --uuid=yyy... --update=name --name=server1_root --homehost="<none>" --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sd[ab]2 mdadm --uuid=zzz... --update=name --name=server1_storage --homehost="<none>" --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sd[cdef]1 Then EDIT /etc/mdadm.conf + HOMEHOST <ignore> CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK1]-part2 /dev/disk/by-id/[DISK2]-part2 DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK1]-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/[DISK2]-part1 DEVICE /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK3]-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK4]-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK5]-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-[DISK6]-part1 - ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=0.90 UUID=xxx... - ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=1.00 UUID=yyy... - ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid10 num-devices=4 metadata=1.02 name=server:md2 UUID=zzz... + ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=0.90 name=server1_boot UUID=xxx... + ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 metadata=1.00 name=server1_boot UUID=yyy... + ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid10 num-devices=4 metadata=1.02 name=server1_storage UUID=zzz... and finally, mkinitrd reboot How's that look?
