Hi. My md0 is broken because of a damaged sda. It was simple to find out which on it is thanks to lsdrv by Mr Turmel. Now I have a new disk, same size, as sda with sda1 partition - same size - formatted as Linux raid autodetect. In the end I like to end up with the new sda1 as member of md0 and I need to put my boot information there, since sdb1, also member of md0, seems to no have no such info because the system wasn't booting with a missing sda1. I am afraid of loosing data, so I prefer asking, what to do next. Please guide, I have the system up and running on a sysrescd live distro. Thank you very much. -fuz Here is some further information. ----------------- /sbin/lsdrv specific information ------------------------------------------ PCI [ahci] 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family 6-port SATA Controller 1 [AHCI mode] (rev 05) ├scsi 0:0:0:0 ATA WDC WD1001FALS-0 {WD-WMATV0444833} │└sda 931.51g [8:0] Empty/Unknown │ └sda1 931.51g [8:1] Empty/Unknown │ └md0 931.39g [9:0] MD v1.2 raid1 (2) active {None} │ │ Empty/Unknown │ ├dm-1 93.13g [252:1] Empty/Unknown │ │└Mounted as /dev/mapper/vg_raid1-root @ / │ ├dm-2 9.31g [252:2] Empty/Unknown │ └dm-3 186.26g [252:3] Empty/Unknown │ └Mounted as /dev/mapper/vg_raid1-home @ /home ├scsi 1:0:0:0 ATA WDC WD10EARS-00Y {WD-WCAV5D907687} │└sdb 931.51g [8:16] Empty/Unknown │ └sdb1 931.51g [8:17] Empty/Unknown │ └md0 931.39g [9:0] MD v1.2 raid1 (2) active {None} │ Empty/Unknown ├scsi 2:x:x:x [Empty] ├scsi 3:0:0:0 ATA SAMSUNG HD103UJ {S13PJ9BQ900571} │└sdc 931.51g [8:32] Empty/Unknown │ └sdc1 931.51g [8:33] Empty/Unknown │ └md1 931.39g [9:1] MD v1.2 raid1 (2) clean {None} │ │ Empty/Unknown │ └dm-0 500.00g [252:0] Empty/Unknown │ └Mounted as /dev/mapper/vg_backup_raid1-lv_backup @ /backup ├scsi 4:0:0:0 ATA SAMSUNG HD103UJ {S13PJ9BQA17616} │└sdd 931.51g [8:48] Empty/Unknown │ └sdd1 931.51g [8:49] Empty/Unknown │ └md1 931.39g [9:1] MD v1.2 raid1 (2) clean {None} │ Empty/Unknown └scsi 5:x:x:x [Empty] Other Block Devices ├loop0 0.00k [7:0] Empty/Unknown ├loop1 0.00k [7:1] Empty/Unknown ├loop2 0.00k [7:2] Empty/Unknown ├loop3 0.00k [7:3] Empty/Unknown ├loop4 0.00k [7:4] Empty/Unknown ├loop5 0.00k [7:5] Empty/Unknown ├loop6 0.00k [7:6] Empty/Unknown ├loop7 0.00k [7:7] Empty/Unknown ├ram0 64.00m [1:0] Empty/Unknown ├ram1 64.00m [1:1] Empty/Unknown ├ram2 64.00m [1:2] Empty/Unknown ├ram3 64.00m [1:3] Empty/Unknown ├ram4 64.00m [1:4] Empty/Unknown ├ram5 64.00m [1:5] Empty/Unknown ├ram6 64.00m [1:6] Empty/Unknown ├ram7 64.00m [1:7] Empty/Unknown ├ram8 64.00m [1:8] Empty/Unknown ├ram9 64.00m [1:9] Empty/Unknown ├ram10 64.00m [1:10] Empty/Unknown ├ram11 64.00m [1:11] Empty/Unknown ├ram12 64.00m [1:12] Empty/Unknown ├ram13 64.00m [1:13] Empty/Unknown ├ram14 64.00m [1:14] Empty/Unknown └ram15 64.00m [1:15] Empty/Unknown ----------------- RAID specific information (mdadm --examine /dev/sdXY) --------------------- /dev/sda1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 68c0c9ad:82ede879:2110f427:9f31c140 Name : speernix15:0 Creation Time : Sun Nov 30 18:15:35 2014 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 2 Avail Dev Size : 1953259520 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Array Size : 976629568 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Used Dev Size : 1953259136 (931.39 GiB 1000.07 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors Unused Space : before=262064 sectors, after=384 sectors State : clean Device UUID : 94a0a338:7876e6f4:f8eaa27c:05a34dfa Update Time : Thu Feb 4 05:38:26 2016 Checksum : 7fe3fbef -
