I have a raid 1 mdadm setup. I have devices sda and sdb with 2 partitions on each - sda1 and sda2 on the other drive i have sdb1 and sdb2.
Partition sda1 is the root partition and sda2 is the swap partition. My sda failed yesterday and now i am running in sdb only. When i put the drive sda into the system to add it back to the md0 - the system keeps booting from it and refuses to boot from the good sdb drive. What can i do to stop this from happening - I have no other system to plug this drive into to zero out the drive. Also if I am able to get over this issue - do i have to do other procedures to this drive? what are they ??? I think i have to do the following: mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --remove /dev/sdb1 mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --fail /dev/sdb1 sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1 I am thinking that I need to do something with grub or do some kind of update so the server can boot of the good drive that I have working now - but do not know what it is. thanks mjh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
