Since you've booted off this, this makes sense. If you can umount /dev/md0, I would think that you should be able to raidstop it. > How can I turn off this raid and use the disks as per normal again? > > Current partiton table: > $ fdisk -l > > Disk /dev/hdc: 16 heads, 63 sectors, 38792 cylinders > Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 bytes > > Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System > /dev/hdc1 * 1 31 15592+ fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/hdc2 32 38792 19535544 5 Extended > /dev/hdc5 32 18317 9216112+ fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/hdc6 18318 28633 5199232+ fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/hdc7 28634 34729 3072352+ fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/hdc8 34730 36761 1024096+ fd Linux raid autodetect > /dev/hdc9 36762 38792 1023592+ 82 Linux swap I haven't tried this, but I would suspect that you should change the partition types away from 'fd' and back to whatever a normal partition is (which escapes me right now). Then edit /etc/fstab to point to the /dev/hd<whatever> units, reboot, and see what happens. You should also alter your LILO or Grub config files to boot off the right unit. > I did try to alter the partition table, but that failed.
