Hi,
I'm installing a server with raid, 2 disks of 2 TB. There was a previous similar raid config on it. I clear parts of the disks with dd. Then I create the partitions, make the raids (no errors), debootstrap. /boot on /dev/md0, / on /dev/md1 and lvm on /dev/md2. However, by the time I'm installing grub, I get this error: error: found two disks with the index 0 for RAID md2. error: superfluous RAID member (2 found). error: found two disks with the index 0 for RAID md2. error: superfluous RAID member (2 found). error: found two disks with the index 0 for RAID md2. error: superfluous RAID member (2 found). ... How is it possible if I create new raid devices, have made a new GPT table when partitioning with gdisk, and did a dd run for the first 40 GB's? The way I create the arrays: mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=1 --metadata=0.90 --raid- devices=2 /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb2 --assume-clean mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md1 --level=1 --metadata=0.90 --raid- devices=2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 --assume-clean mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md2 --level=1 --metadata=0.90 --raid- devices=2 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4 --assume-clean I have found some info, and it said zero the superblocks. However, if I do that on the md2 raid array, I lose my LVM partitions. mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sd[ab]4 $ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [linear] [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [multipath] [faulty] md1 : active raid1 sdb3[1] sda3[0] 10228672 blocks [2/2] [UU] md2 : active raid1 sdb4[1] sda4[0] 1943027712 blocks [2/2] [UU] md0 : active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0] 252864 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> Why am I getting this error? Is there a way to see if this error will turn up before I proceed to do the rest of the installation? It's very annoying to encounter this at then end of the install when the mdadm --create didn't return an error or warning.
