Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mdadm
I've had this problem happen a few times in the past with previous versions of
Ubuntu. (I'm now on Lucid) I forget how I got rid of it then. What happened now
is a just added a couple of eSATA disks (/dev/sdd and /dev/sde) (they function
like regular SATA disks.) I had setup my /dev/md0 array from /dev/sdb and
/dev/sdc months ago. Now all of a sudden it fabricates a /dev/md_d0 array
somehow (based on /dev/md0p1) and the system fails to mount /dev/md0p1. This is
the output from cat /proc/mdstat:
m...@hegemon:~$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [linear] [raid1] [multipath] [raid0] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
[raid10]
md_d0 : inactive md0p1[1](S)
245111616 blocks
md0 : active raid1 sdc[1] sdb[0]
245117312 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
My workaround for now is to manually remove /md_d0 every time I reboot the
system as follows:
m...@hegemon:~$ sudo mdadm --manage --stop /dev/md_d0
mdadm: stopped /dev/md_d0
I can then run mount -a and it successfully mounts /dev/md0p1
I get this output after deleting the array, I believe it is the same as before
I delete it:
m...@hegemon:~$ sudo ls /dev/md*
/dev/md0 /dev/md_d0 /dev/md_d0p2 /dev/md_d0p4
/dev/md0p1 /dev/md_d0p1 /dev/md_d0p3
/dev/md:
d0 d0p1 d0p2 d0p3 d0p4
