Hello. Any ideas.. is this a bug or a feature?
I have a machine with rhel 5.3 installed. It's using mdadm software raid1, so it has md0 (sda1+sdb1) and md1 (sdb2+sdb2). If I boot to "linux rescue" mode from rhel CD/DVD and try to manually start the arrays I notice this: # mdadm --assemble -a yes /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md0 # mdadm --assemble -a yes /dev/md1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 mdadm: no devices found for /dev/md1 BUT, if I do this: # mdadm --assemble --uuid <uuid_of_mdX> /dev/mdX it works as expected.. and yes, it uses the correct and very same sda? and sdb? devices. Also "mdadm --examine /dev/sda?" gives correct/matching uuids. Would be a lot easier to NOT type the uuid, in some recovery cases :) -- Pasi _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
