Basically I had expected you to use either rescue mode of the d-i or a
livecd or other to assemble the arrays. You did. But neither array
came up completely correct. One came
point sda isn't the boot hard drive, that's the partitions
/sdb1
and sdc1, but these should be the same (I thought I'd mirrored them to be
honest).
I don't see sda anywhere. It might be a dual booting Windows disk?
Or other. But the BIOS will boot the first disk from the BIOS boot
order

Thanks Bob, really can't thank you enough. Just to be clear about this, I'd
do these commands from the rescue disk after I have assembled the arrays
and gone to the bash shell?
Short answer: Yes. Go for it!
Longer answer: There are all kinds of things I want to say here.
Ok..I installed Ubuntu from Win 7 and I am using it ok...I later tried
installing Debian just to get a feel of the two Linux. Did the Grub booter
thing in both cases but could not find Debian in the list just ubuntu and Win 7
options. How do I go about fixing this i.e been able to see debian in
Thanks Bob, I'll get back to after I've followed your instructions. I think
I'm going to have to learn to type with crossed fingers!
I think I initially sorted out all my partitions manually, rather than
directly using the installer to do it automatically,
Really appreciated,
James

I tried mdadm --detail /dev/sdd1 but it didn't work. I have these results
if they help?

Hi,
I don't have a Ubuntu at hand, so I can't tell the version of grub Ubuntu
is using. Suppose the grub-pc is used just as debian did. You can simply
do that by executing:
$ sudo update-grub2
this command will probe all installation in your machine, and generate a
new grub config file at:

I have a debian machine which was on for a long time (~months). Just

So sdb3 and sdc3 are assembled into /dev/md126. That seems good. One
full array is assembled.
Is /dev/md126 your preferred name for that array?

My 4 harddrives are organised in pairs of RAID 1 (Mirrored) with LVM
spanning them. Originally there was just one pair, but then I got two new

Ultimately the RAID 6 array will host an LVM partition that will be used
