Hi all,

I have a fedora 25 (mdadm v3.4 - 28 Jan 2016), where out of blue, it stopped booting. The problem was because it could not mount some filesystems that were software raid1 devices. No disk failures. cat /proc/mdstat shows:

Personalities :
md0 : inactive sdb1[1] sda1[0]
      1228797952 blocks super 1.2

md2 : inactive sdb3[2] sda3[0]
      507344896 blocks super 1.2

md1 : inactive sda2[0] sdb2[2]
      2047997952 blocks super 1.2

unused devices: <none>

What is strange, is that it does not say it is a raid1 array (all of them are).

mdadm -D /dev/md0 shows:
/dev/md0:
        Version : 1.2

    Number   Major   Minor   RaidDevice State
       0       8        1        0      active sync /dev/sda1
       1       8       17        1      active sync /dev/sdb1

I booted my pc with a live dvd of fedora 26 (and not 25 as the system), having mdadm v4.0, and everything works as expected. I can see the 3 raid devices, I can mount them and see their contents.

So I am puzzled why mdadm 4 can use the devices, and mdadm 3.4 cannot any more. How can I fix this?

(I have backups of all 3 filesystems, taken with dd from the live dvd, where the raid devices work. The backups can be mounted)

I am thinking like destroying completely the arrays and recreate them, but I feel that there is a much simpler solution, as the raid arrays work with mdadm v4.

Regards,

George
Another puzzling fact, is that booting fedora 25 with the previous kernel works.
With the latest kernel does not.
I tried because I saw "md: personality for level 1 is not loaded!" in the logs...
