Hay, I have my raids now up and running. It works with the strickt
$ cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf DEVICE partitions CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 devices=/dev/hda2 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 devices=/dev/hda3 ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 devices=/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1 I was even able to start up with mdrun before I changed the mdadm.conf. But I was not able to start with the tipp provided by mdrun /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf mdadm --assemble --scan --auto=yes as mkconf gives sarge:/etc/mdadm# /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf DEVICE partitions CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes metadata=1 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=f00c2d56:12d94a71:7544ea96:bac045d0 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=bab67f93:8d6ae88c:a94069f9:03661a7a ARRAY /dev/md2 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=7f96e6c7:6f4e22b9:95d187de:8bb4fa04 ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=8be3aeb5:6621388f:f8a154d8:ca63d2a6 ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=53f86543:986d4080:3564d273:2586e4f0 It seems, that there exists extra old information in my raids. I have no idea, how to remove. But more important, before the update to 2.4.1 the never made problems. Even if it is my mistake, it will be a problem for others in case of upgrade (from sarge to etch), because they will not know about problems. How can I clean up the devices. This procedure could be included in upgrade?! Thanks Detlef -- Detlef Schmicker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
