As you say, the devices are exactly the same size, thanks. On Monday October 15, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > how do I undo? mdadm /dev/md2 -f /dev/hda2 > So I could try the sync in init 1 > Lucas
Well, you could: mdadm /dev/md2 -f /dev/hda2 mdadm /dev/md2 -r /dev/hda2 then when you are ready to try again mdadm /dev/md2 -a /dev/hda2 I think there must be something odd happening with the drive or controller. I notice that the two devices are on the same IDE channel, which is sometimes a source of problems, though it should behave like this. If you feel up to patching the kernel, recompiling, and experimenting, I can send you a patch which should provide more detailed information on what is happening. Let me know what kernel version you will be working with. NeilBrown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
