Problem while reassebling raid using mdadm
Help.
I have been using mdadm raid5 array on my old ubuntu for over 5 years withount problem. Then I decided to reinstall. Now, I got new fresh clean install of Ubuntu (lucid lynx) and did commands Code:
sudo apt-get install mdadm Code:
/dev/sda device or resource busy Code:
/dev/sda is too small. 0K |
How did you partition the drives during the install phase? And, what doesfdisk -l /dev/sdX1 on each drive show?

Update:
Problem "solved". After talking to my more experienced friend, I exhumed my old system to find the raid volume is completely ok. What a relief. Then I uninstalled dmraid on my new system (which got somewhat automatically installed and maybe caused all that) and copied mdadm.config from the old system. That was enough to make the raid volume work. I still don't know what caused what happened to me before, but now everything works fine and you can mark this thread as "solved". |
