Hi all, I have a working raid0 setup, on partitions hdb2, hdc2, and hdd2. However, every time I reboot, something makes the system look for the raid parts on the whole drives instead of the partitions. From dmesg: > device-mapper: 4.0.5-ioctl (2003-11-18) initialised: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > md: md driver 0.90.0 MAX_MD_DEVS=256, MD_SB_DISKS=27 > [events: 00000006] > md: bind<ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc,1> > [events: 00000006] > md: bind<ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc,2> > [events: 00000006] > md: bind<ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc,3> > md: ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc's event counter: 00000006 > md: ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc's event counter: 00000006 > md: ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc's event counter: 00000006 > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc since last import! > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/disc since last import! > md: device name has changed from ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part2 to > ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc since last import!
I have to do the following after every boot: mdadm --stop /dev/md0 mdadm -Cv /dev/md0 -l0 -n3 -c32 /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdc2 /dev/hdd2 then restart my vg and mount my partitions. After recreating the array, both mdadm -E /dev/hdb and mdadm -E /dev/hdb2 give the same result (I think they look at the same superblock), ending in: > 0 0 3 66 0 active sync /dev/hdb2 > 1 1 22 2 1 active sync /dev/hdc2 > 2 2 22 66 2 active sync /dev/hdd2 Anyone have an idea why the system wants to use the whole drives at the next boot?? Thanks, Peter
