My (years old) marking on it made unclear as to whether I had only prepped its partitions for use as a backup HD, or had actually used it in this system and later replaced one with newer leaving this as an offline spare.
md120 : inactive sdb14[0](S) 156280216 blocks super 1.0
Just a spare. (S)
OK...
The array is also incomplete, i.e. you do not even have enough non-spare data volumes in your system to at least start it in degraded mode.
This I don't understand. Providing mdadm.conf and susequently being able to mount its md devices as /dev/mdX devices (ro, because degraded to one partition per device instead of 2 configured) seems to prove whatever needed to be wherever it needed to be was there, and the only problem had been lack of activation.
It would be helpful if you show mdadm.conf then.
Doesn't the existant partition type 0xFD provide e2fs a useful clue, or is maybe that what blinds it to what is actually present?
No. The only place where 0xfd partition type is (was) used is kernel-level Linux MD autodetection. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
