Hi Pascal, I'm not sure what top-posting is? I hope this isn't it!
You mean test whether i can bring the raid vol up by booting into 64bit debian from usb? i did a mdadm -e on one of the disks in the array root@HTPC-NAS:~# mdadm -E /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc1: Magic : a92b4efc Version : 1.2 Feature Map : 0x0 Array UUID : 25a729b1:71f5193b:6abe8ba9:21e698f5 Name : HTPC-NAS:0 (local to host HTPC-NAS) Creation Time : Thu Dec 20 12:25:56 2012 Raid Level : raid1 Raid Devices : 2 Avail Dev Size : 5860268032 (2794.39 GiB 3000.46 GB) Array Size : 2930133824 (2794.39 GiB 3000.46 GB) Used Dev Size : 5860267648 (2794.39 GiB 3000.46 GB) Data Offset : 262144 sectors Super Offset : 8 sectors State : clean Device UUID : fe1998ea:8535a654:31083985:d8c560c1 Update Time : Thu Feb 7 09:01:38 2013 Checksum : ad4320a8 - correct Events : 51 Device Role : Active device 1 Array State : AA ('A' == active, '.' == missing) I think the 1.2 means it's a no go in terms of running the disk independently of the raid vol.
