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).
Are those the correct devices for md1?
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.
I wonder....
I suggest you check again that you are doing everything correctly, and
that you have the correct device names in your email.
Also "mdadm --examine /dev/sda?" gives correct/matching uuids.
Would be a lot easier to NOT type the uuid, in some recovery cases :)
I agree with this. Once you have satisfied yourself again that you have
done it correctly. Then, I recommend reporting it as a bug. Whether it's
a coding error or a design error, the behaviour you report is unreasonable.
