Raid Problem


Hi all,

I am using suse 10.1 and i installed suse in two 80 GB sata hard disk (sda, sdb) under RAID 1 software mirroring. In one machine one hard disk was failed and from another hard disk it was not booting. I foung that
it's searching for mbr. I booted the system with suse dvd in the rescue method and i am trying to mount the available sdb partitation but its said could not mount the "Linux raid autodetect"

So i am trying to mount /dev/md0 But its giving some superblock error

Can some one tell me how to solve the problem.

This is my org. "fdisk -l" output.

You need to run mdadm so that it recognizes the raid partitions first and then you can mount /dev/md0. Run the following commands to load the raid1 module and to detect the arrays:

modprobe raid1
mdadm -E -s
