I am guessing that my problem are the files /etc/md0 and /etc/md1 which
disappeared when I lost my /dev directory. Is there any way to recreate
these short of rebuilding and therefor destroying the underlining data?
Every raid command I try to run gives me the same error message:
"cannot determine md version: No such file or directory"
It certainly would be better if the error messages where more descriptive.
