Me too. mdadm --detail /dev/md0 thinks that /dev/sdc1 is faulty. I'm not sure whether it's really faulty, or just that my setup for RAID is screwed up. How do I get rid of an existing /dev/md0? I'm thinking that I can try creating a RAID1 array using the two allegedly good disks and see if I can make that work. If that works, I'll get rid of it and try recreating the RAID1 with one good disk and the one that mdadm thinks is faulty. Hopefully that will show me whether I have a hardware problem or a software one. Jeff
