Quoting Mitchell Laks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Hi mdadm raid gurus,

I wanted to make a raid1 array, but at the moment I have only 1 drive available. The other disk is
in the mail. I wanted to make a raid1 that i will use as a backup.

But I need to do the backup now, before the second drive comes.

So I did this.

formated /dev/sda creating /dev/sda1 with type fd.

then I tried to run
mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=1 /dev/sda1

Perhaps give this a try:

# mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-devices=2 /dev/sda1 missing

Cheers,
Mike
