My RAID5 works fine, all data is there, it is active. But when I do mdadm --examine it says no superblock detected on /dev/md0. FC 15
 
Im running Fedora Core 15
Kernal is 2.6.43.8-1 (If im reading this right)

Any help is greatly appreciated. My Raid5 is working fine but that superblock error is making me afraid lol...thanks!

you ARE aware that fedora 15 is and has been long deceased ( R.I.P.)
it went End Of Life back in June of 2012
there have been NO security updates for if for almost 4 YEARS

-- DO NOT USE!!! --

please stay current and install Fedora 23
then in about 90 days reinstall with fedora 24

Superblock version mismatch? Dunno.

lazydog 02-26-2016 09:50 AM

Which device are you missing the superblock on?

Code:

mdadm --examine /dev/sd[x]
Replacing the '[x]' with the different drive letters.

Thanks but yes I already knew this. My data has been backed up for years and I don't use this box at all. I am installing Centos 7 this weekend, but I am trying to get this Superblock thing figured out first

/dev/md0

When I check the individual drives here is what I get:

then there is NO problem

this would be fixed when you reformat the drives to install CentOS 7.2

installing a new OS solves the issue

I have the OS on a different drive so I won't be formatting the RAID. My OS is currently on a separate drive. There's a chance Centos would fix it but I would like to try everything I can do beforehand to get rid of that error. I already did e2fsck -b 32768 /dev/md0 but that didn't fix it. I haven't tried to re assemble it yet either.

Version mismatch? .90 and 1.2???

The output doesn't show any issues. I agree with just install installing C7 and be done with it.
