Hi All

I upgraded from 9.1 - which was using software RAID - to 9.2. This appeared to work OK, but my /dev/md1 now only contains one of the discs; the other is shown as not belonging to any RAID array.

If I go into the disc partitioner in YaST, select RAID/Edit and try to add the offending disc to my RAID array, I am told "The RAID to change (/dev/md1) is already created on disk. It can no longer be changed. To change /dev/md1, remove it and create it again."

I am just a little dubious about doing this - is there really no way that I can just add the other partition and get it to sync with the active one?

Cheers

Matthew

I heard the kernel used by suse 9.2 doesn't support RAID software anymore, but can't remember anymore. Maybe this is your problem. Boot from install cd #1 and use the repair utility to found problems with your hard disks. I think it will give you an error similar to what i described and the way to fix it.

Good luck

The 2.6.x kernels (9.1, 9.2) don't like hardware RAID. I went through that fiasco a while back going from 9.0 to 9.1

However, I'll give your suggestion a try - booting from CD may be the way to get that partition back into my array.

Thanks
