Hello everyone, i had a power outage 2 days ago and when i came home i found my linux box not booting up anymore. After some commands i found out that there is a problem with a device not beeing mounted because md0 is missing. I tried to find out what is going on, but i cannot understand what is going on. i hope you can help me. Linux is a CentOS7. I am posting the current status of the box below: thank you all in advance kind regards Andy [root@quad ~]# mdadm -V mdadm - v3.4 - 28th January 2016 [root@quad ~]# uname -a Linux quad 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 4 15:04:05 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root@quad ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : unused devices: <none> [root@quad ~]# ls -la /dev/md0 ls: cannot access /dev/md0: No such file or directory [root@quad ~]# mdadm -Esv ARRAY /dev/md/0 level=raid5 metadata=1.2 num-devices=4 UUID=9d020f27:c0542472:b95a18d2:5741114d name=quad.:0 devices=/dev/sda1,/dev/sdb1,/dev/sdc1,/dev/sdd1 [root@quad ~]# mdadm -A -v /dev/md0 mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0 mdadm: /dev/sda1 is busy -
