Software RAID on Slackware
I recently reinstalled the OS on file server, going from Slackware 12.2 (32bit) to Slackware 13 (64bit). I had a software (mdadm) RAID5 array (6 drives, 500GB, no hotspares, 1 massive xfs partition) on the 12.2 install.
Since the change I've not been able to mount the xfs partition. I did remember to include large partition support by installing the EFI GUID Partition support kernel module.
I have included the output of some various debugging attempts below. You'll notice that the array seems to have started fine and things like fdisk -l and parted can see the xfs partition. The problem is that mount and xfs_check don't see the partition as xfs.
The only differences I am aware of in the new setup are:
64bit Slackware instead of 32bit and the new install is using the 2.6.29.6 kernel when the old version was using the 2.6.30.x kernel.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. All my music is on this raid array and i'm getting sick of the playlist on my iPod, so you can see, this is quite urgent ;)
