I have a raid 1 device with two disks when I stop the device in RHEL5 # mdadm --stop /dev/md4 mdadm: stopped /dev/md4 # mdadm --detail /dev/md4 mdadm: md device /dev/md4 does not appear to be active. How does one start it up again? # mdadm --examine /dev/sdd2 /dev/sdd2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : 7b7baf26:99e09886:0c35124d:40736950 Creation Time : Fri Sep 12 16:17:50 2008 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 71280320 (67.98 GiB 72.99 GB) Array Size : 71280320 (67.98 GiB 72.99 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 4 Update Time : Fri Sep 12 16:17:50 2008 State : active Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : a105ab5f - correct Events : 0.1 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 1 8 50 1 active sync /dev/sdd2 0 0 8 34 0 active sync /dev/sdc2 1 1 8 50 1 active sync /dev/sdd2 # mdadm --examine /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdc2: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 00.90.00 UUID : 7b7baf26:99e09886:0c35124d:40736950 Creation Time : Fri Sep 12 16:17:50 2008 Raid Level : raid1 Used Dev Size : 71280320 (67.98 GiB 72.99 GB) Array Size : 71280320 (67.98 GiB 72.99 GB) Raid Devices : 2 Total Devices : 2 Preferred Minor : 4 Update Time : Fri Sep 12 16:17:50 2008 State : active Active Devices : 2 Working Devices : 2 Failed Devices : 0 Spare Devices : 0 Checksum : a105ab4d - correct Events : 0.1 Number Major Minor RaidDevice State this 0 8 34 0 active sync /dev/sdc2 0 0 8 34 0 active sync /dev/sdc2 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
