No because I've already "been there" and "done that" -- It is IMPOSSIBLE to recover a RAID-1 array that just one day (after properly shutting down the system and not having hardware failures) decided not to boot. The funny thing is there was a system with a similar software setup (openSUSE 11.0 w/ no GUI) and hardware (same mainboard.. ASUS P4P) that a week later had the same exact failure, again the hard disks tested fine, the data on the individual partitions could be read, just that mdadm did not want to work. Maybe the issue is not mdadm but instead openSUSE 11.0? Either way I'd advise to stay away from md RAID and its horrible mdadm tool. For me I prefer to switch to hardware RAID cards and keep on using openSUSE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
