Hi,
about half a year ago I set up a Raid-Server with Mirroring. It run
fine and rebuild nicely when one disk was removed from it's bus.
Today we had a crash of the machine due to heat problems caused
probably by a broken fan :-(
At the moment my colleague at the location is trying to get the
machine back to work, at present with an open chasi. But the Raid
does not recreate automatically... The problem mentioned striking me
most is "md0 has overlapping physical units with md2"... this does
not sound very good to me...
Both hds seem to be there and get added to the devices, though
The machine is running SuSE 6.3 with raidtools 0.90 and a patched
lilo allowing it to boot from a raid-device. This was an early
version of the RedHat patch to lilo that did not function correctly.
It does boot from raid, but only if the first device is there. After
some discussion on this list I provided an additional boot disk for
the case this bootable hd fails.
But the machine does not boot correctly. It tries rebuilding the RAID
but stops with the about message and leaving us on our own...
Anyone had this problem with overlapping physical units??? How can
this happen? What can we do now?
May we run fsck on the md devices???
PLEEEEAAASE Help
Regards and thanks in advance
Jochen
