I have now discovered that /dev/md0 only consists of a single drive, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdb1 has been sitting idle, twiddling it's thumbs!
Argh!
I'd be grateful if someone could guide me through the process of reassembling the array, without losing/overwriting the new data on /dev/sdc1. I have read through man mdadm, but I'm not confident about my understanding. Or perhaps I could do it in Yast?
I'm not aware that yast can repair raids :-? Here are my notes on mdadm (change device names as appropriate for your setup): State of things: mdadm --detail /dev/md0 Simulate a failure: mdadm --manage --set-faulty /dev/md0 /dev/hdb11 Remove a disk: mdadm /dev/md0 -r /dev/hdb11 Add a disk: mdadm /dev/md0 -a /dev/hdb11 Usually adding the disk is enough to trigger the rebuild process. But first, try to learn what happened. By the way, there is a daemon that could have emailed you the problem.
Many thanks, and Happy New Year to you all :)
Same to you :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
