Hello,
my Windows 7 crashed and put the fake-RAID1 in Verify-state.
Previously the verification of the fakeRAID1 was possible with SuSE 12.1 like this:
cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md126 : active raid1 sdc[1] sdd[0] 1953511424 blocks super external:/md127/0 [2/2] [UU] [==>..................] resync = 10.5% [(205884736/1953511556) finish=361.1min speed=80657K/sec
md127 : inactive sdc[1](S) sdd[0](S) 6056 blocks super external:imsm
unused devices: <none>
But now there is a different situation: the whole thing does not boot to SUSE12.1, boot partiton is on some SSD and it says that it does not find /dev/disk/by-id/md-uuid-49818217:13c92065:79a2503c:31fc331d-part2 which is the boot partition according to /boot/grub/menu.lst .
But I guess the RAID1 is the problem to be solved first, since in the Verify-state it does not come up: cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] [raid0] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] md126 : inactive sdc[1] sdd[0] 3907023112 blocks super external:-md127/0
md127 : inactive sdc[1](S) sdd[0](S) 6056 blocks super external:imsm
unused devices: <none>
I am not that RAID expert so any help to activate this fakeRAID1 and start verifying would be appreciated.
Any ideas how to get this Intel fake-RAID1 active again?
Isn't this more likely a job for some Intel utility or BIOS setup? I have never played with mdadm and external raid setups though.
I have also thought of putting one of the fake-RAID1 HDDs out of the machine, make a backup of the most important things (will take quite long) with some USB-SATA-adapter and then try the BIOS setup of the RAID. :-( But since mdadm was once able to do the verification I have the idea that this would be some better way to let mdadm switch on the verification of the raid1.
Well, I have no experience with IMSM, but although mdadm appears to understand the metadata, I think I would try the manufacturers tools first. Especially as you can't even boot. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
