Hi all suse gurus, Hope someone could help me in problem with my RAID1 setup. I am following Jason Record's article on Novell Cool solutions. I followed the article and could set up my RAID1 but when I restarted the system I could see that only one meta device has both the submirrors active and the other two has only one. Before restarting, my # cat /proc/mdstat was as follows --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sda3[1] sdb3[0] 210571904 blocks [2/1] [U_] md2 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[0] 29366720 blocks [2/1] [U_] md1 : active raid1 sda1[1] sdb1[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before restarting, my # cat /proc/mdstat was as follows ======================================= # cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md3 : active raid1 sda3[1] sdb3[0] 210571904 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sda2[1] sdb2[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid1 sda1[1] sdb1[0] 29366720 blocks [2/2] [UU] ======================================= Why did this happen and how can i fix this problem? Is it something to do with /boot/grub/menu.lst file? I would be really gratefuly if someone could help me out. Further it would be really nice if someone could send me the email id of Jason Record so that I can directly ask him. Regards Vinayan k p

Hi Vinayan, You can see what happen with the raid using dmesg. Anyway, no worries. You just need to rebuild the array. mdadm /dev/md2 -a /dev/sdb2 mdadm /dev/md3 -a /dev/sdb3 You can watch the building process: watch cat /proc/mdstat HTH, -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 6:58am up 20:13, 2.6.16.13-4-default GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
