I had a RAID1 on the root fs on the machine with kernel
2.4.27-1-386. Decided at last to upgrade to 2.4.27-3-686. There were
no problems with the new kernel installation, only with the RAID1, I
lost it :(
What is the _right_ procedure of actions might be (well, at least I
know one wrong procedure now) ?
Dispositon:
There is a working RAID1 (mirroring) array /dev/md0 of 2 elements
/dev/hda1, /dev/hdc1. kernel 2.4.27-1-386
$ cat /etc/mkinitrd/modules
raid1
(Yes, md and raid1 as modules)
$ cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid1 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[0]
ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1[1]
76603328 blocks [2/2] [UU]
unused devices: <none>
/etc/fstab
/dev/md0 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/boot/grub/menu.lst
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.27-1-386 RAID
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.27-1-386 ro root=/dev/md0
md=0,/dev/hda1,/dev/hdc1
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-1-386.raid
savedefault
boot
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
DEVICE partitions
Goal:
Upgrade kernel to 2.4.27-3-686 without losing the RAID1
The fist step is to upgrade the kernel
$ aptitude install kernel-image-2.4-686
About the follwing steps I'm not so sure, could you please help me
with the following steps?
