I *think* I've got it now. Re-creating the array made no difference whatever, as it just left everything exactly the same apart from taking many hours in useless resynching (why it does this is a mystery, as it clearly knows the layout and should know that the array was already synchronised). IOW even though I ran: # mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sd[de] I still ended up with /dev/md127p1 as before, and /dev/md0 wa's not created. However by putting that into /etc/fstab and running systemctl daemon-reload', I can now mount the array correctly. It even survives a system reboot. Fingers crossed, it seems to be working now. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
