2012-04-07 Thread 'Chris Hall'
I have a /home partition which is set up as a Software RAID1, using /dev/md0. When I reboot the /dev/md0 fails to come up cleanly. So far it has come back each time, but nearly every time it comes up with one of the two members of the RAID array missing. I can mdadm /dev/md0 --re-add /dev/sdb
