a few months ago I installed fedora 7 on my main work laptop, and was about to go to 9, when I ran into a VERY odd thing, I seem to have a RAID1 running and I never installed it that way. Neither can i find anything *raid* or *md* or LVM in /etc/ hinting this is going on.
Below is the output of df, fdisk and /etc/fstab, i'm really puzzled how this could have happened. Below you will see that sda3 and sda5 are the same (i checked), so it really looks like a raid1. - peter # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda5 9920624 7349776 2058780 79% / <-- tmpfs 1020732 0 1020732 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda7 201704368 186425088 4867960 98% /home /dev/sda1 1019208 67700 898900 8% /a1 /dev/sda2 9920624 153740 9254816 2% /a2 /dev/sda3 9920624 7349776 2058780 79% /a3 <-- # fdisk -l /dev/sda Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 131 1052226 83 Linux /dev/sda2 132 1406 10241437+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 1407 2681 10241437+ 83 Linux <-- /dev/sda4 2682 30401 222660900 5 Extended /dev/sda5 2682 3956 10241406 83 Linux <-- /dev/sda6 3957 4478 4192933+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 4479 30401 208226466 83 Linux # mount /dev/sda5 on / type ext3 (rw) <-- proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) /dev/sda7 on /home type ext3 (rw) none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw) /dev/sda1 on /a1 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda2 on /a2 type ext3 (rw) /dev/sda3 on /a3 type ext3 (rw) <-- # more /etc/fstab LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 LABEL=SWAP-sda6 swap swap defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 # /dev/sda1 /a1 ext3 noauto 0 0 /dev/sda2 /a2 ext3 noauto 0 0 /dev/sda3 /a3 ext3 noauto 0 0
