Each of them has several partitions, which are paired as RAID 1 (mirroring) arrays. In the last days, my /boot partition (md0) was started with one of two disks (IIRC this happened twice). Today my /testroot partition (md3) started with only one active disk. dmesg does not show any sign of broken disks. At least for /boot, re-adding the second disk with mdadm worked without any complaints (and in the next boots, it came up with both disks), and I expect the same for /testroot. I'll attach boot.log and dmesg output with md3 starting with only one disk. (Sorry, no /v/l/messages because my syslog setup is broken :-( ) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
