Is there something wrong with my setup?
Do you have any reason to think so?
Yes, because yesterday I've update the kernel and grub complained
about "raid array -1 not found".
Also why sda and sdb have both a partition defined as "linux raid" but
sdd doesn't? Where is the correct way to create an array? If I
remember correctly these are the steps I did:
0) The system was /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 in raid1 (dev/md0) with a LVM
partition on top of the raid
1) I created a new degradeted raid 1 /dev/md1 array with /dev/sdd
(without defining any partition)
2) I've mounted /dev/md1 and formatted as ext4. Then I copied
everything from /dev/md0
3) I destroyed the old /dev/md0 and than recreated a new /dev/md0 as a
linear array
4) I've added /dev/md0 on /dev/md1 and the drivers start syncying
Than I've update the kernel and grub complained about "raid array -1".
When I restarted the system a Grub error 17 was showed.
So I booted from an usb key and restored grub (I think I installed it
wrongly on /dev/sda instead of the correct drive /dev/sdc) and the
system booted correctly.
one more question before i give my best guess
Do you use a initrd to load modules during boot, or do does your kernel
contain all drivers in itself?
