Hello, I've consolidated the state of the system, these are the details: http://pastebin.com/k7wGpw8F Notice how /dev/md0 has the Name : petra:md1 and /dev/md1 doesn't have any superblock. Also it appears there is an old mdadm superblock on /dev/sda1 with my previous array configuration. So now what I'm trying to achive is this configuration: removing the hold partitions /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 with the old superblock (by the way how is it possible i'm using an array with /dev/sda and /dev/sdb while these devices contains an old partition?) Configuring correctly the raid 1 array with /dev/sdd and /dev/md0 2014-03-09 9:31 GMT+01:00 Federico Foschini <undicizeri@xxxxxxxxx>: > Done and rebooted. I'm in the same condition as before.
