Hi All, I just hit a new problem with my setup.
Since boot and root where working fine i started to use the rest of the disk. I created some extra partitions and created raid's from them: These are the partitions of sda, sdb is the same: Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0xf96d7342 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 2048 264191 131072 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 264192 8652799 4194304 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda3 8652800 1953525167 972436184 5 Extended /dev/sda5 8654848 428085247 209715200 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda6 428087296 847517695 209715200 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda7 847519744 1266950143 209715200 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda8 1266952192 1686382591 209715200 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda9 1686384640 1953525167 133570264 fd Linux raid autodetect Sda3 upto sda9 are new. These are the md devices from /proc/mdstat: md1 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 4194240 blocks [2/2] [UU] md5 : active raid1 sdb5[1] sda5[0] 209715136 blocks [2/2] [UU] md6 : active raid1 sdb6[1] sda6[0] 209715136 blocks [2/2] [UU] md7 : active raid1 sdb7[1] sda7[0] 209715136 blocks [2/2] [UU] md8 : active raid1 sdb8[1] sda8[0] 209715136 blocks [2/2] [UU] md9 : active raid1 sdb9[1] sda9[0] 133570176 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0] 131008 blocks [2/2] [UU] All md5 upto md9 are all formatted with ext3, that not how i want to use them, but i just wanted to make sure there's a valid filesystem on them. When i reboot i end up in a rescue shell, and this a log such a rescue session: GRUB loading. Welcome to GRUB! error: file `/grub2/i386-pc/normal.mod' not found. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> ls (md/md8) (md/md7) (md/md6) (md/md5) (md/md1) (md/md0) (md/md9) (hd0) (hd0,msdos 9) (hd0,msdos8) (hd0,msdos7) (hd0,msdos6) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0,msdos2) (hd0,msdos1 ) (hd1) (hd1,msdos9) (hd1,msdos8) (hd1,msdos7) (hd1,msdos6) (hd1,msdos5) (hd1,m sdos2) (hd1,msdos1) (hd2) (hd3) (hd4) (hd5) (hd6) (hd7) (hd8) (hd9) (hd10) (hd1 1) (hd12) (hd13) (hd14) (hd15) grub rescue> ls (md/md0)/ error: unknown filesystem. grub rescue> ls (hd0,1)/ ./ ../ lost+found/ grub2/ boot vmlinuz-3.8.13 .keep vmlinuz-3.8.13-64bit grub rescue> set prefix=(hd0,1)/grub2 grub rescue> insmod normal grub rescue> normal grub> ls (md/md0)/ error: unknown filesystem. grub> insmod mdraid09 grub> ls (md/md0)/ error: unknown filesystem. grub> ls (hd0,1)/ lost+found/ grub2/ boot vmlinuz-3.8.13 vmlinuz-3.8.13-64bit grub> linux (hd0,1)/vmlinuz-3.8.13-64bit $kernel_parameters grub> boot $kernel_parameters is a variable i set with all required kernel parameters: root=/dev/md1 console=ttyS0,19200n8 clocksource=hpet Somehow it's unable to read the md devices, but it is able to read from hd0,1 (the real partition for /boot). I did try to re-install grub2 but that didn't change the behavior. Any suggestions on how to fix this ? Thanks in advance.
