How do I recover a broken MD RAID-1.... Since there is no way to make a backup with easy restore? I boot the system and it says: md: radi5 personality registered md: raid4 personality registered md: md0 stopped. md: bind<sdb1> md: bind<sda1> md: md0: raid array is not clean -- starting background reconstruction raid1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors md0: bitmap file is out of date (8 < 9) -- forcing full recovery md0: bitmap file is out of date, doing full recovery md0: bitmap initialisation failed: -5 md0: failed to create bitmap (-5) md: peers -> run() failed... mdadm: failed to RUN_ARRAY /dev/md0: Input/output error mdadm: device /dev/md0 already active - cannot assemble it Trying manual resume from /dev/sdb2 Invoking userspace resume from /dev/sdb2 boot/82-resume.userspace.sh: line 48: /proc/splash: No such file or directory resume: libgcrypt version: 1.4.0 Trying manual resume from /dev/sdb2 Invoking in-kernel resume from /dev/sdb2 PM: starting manual resum from disk Waiting for device /dev/md0 to appear: ok /dev/md0: unknown volume type invalid root filesystem -- exiting to /bin/sh $ Before this system was working fine. I shut it down correctly with the 'halt' command. I plugged in a USB KVM that makes the system hang at boottime (to provide needed info for Bug # 412476) after the system hung I powered it off, unplugged the kVM and then booted it back, only to get the above messages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
