Rebooting doesn't resolve the problem. Any ideas on how to restart the raid and tell md to use the XFS filesystem?
You do not tell md to use a certain filesystem. Md is just a container, i.e. to the rest of the system /dev/md0 is no different than a volume on a proper RAID controller. The filesystem type is stored on the filesystem. What *CAN* happen is md-RAID breaks (sometimes for no reason, due to a hardware failure or unclean shutdown) or one of the That is what you are seeing,.. md thinks /dev/md0 is broken so when you try to mount it, the system is not seeing a valid filesystem because md is not feeding it one. If it is RAID-1 you can mount the individual partitions using the -t[ype] option to specify that your volume is XFS. I would suggest you make a backup and reinstall using a better RAID implementation (hardware.) Otherwise you can try (and fail) to make mdadm work... it does not. <> Hello, Okay, got it going again. The trick was to delete the raid, in this case md0, and then recreate it with out mounting it in Yast. Next, I added the FS info and mount point in /etc/fstab and mounted it manually. All the data was there intact. I might add that this was raid0.
