Hi,
Got the problems solved. I couldn't solve the problem by using the rescue
disk, as it wouldn't let me stop the raid array.
What I did was drop into the maintenance mode:
mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 //This should recreate the
array
mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.co
Hello,
I've been too nervous to reboot, so I've left it in the rescue mode at the
point where I assembled the raid arrays and went into boot at the \
partition.
Tried to run:
mdadm --stop /dev/md127
but got a mdadm: failed to stop array /dev/md127: Device or resource busy.
Perhaps a running proce

Basically I had expected you to use either rescue mode of the d-i or a
livecd or other to assemble the arrays. You did. But neither array
came up completely correct. One came
Thanks Bob, like I say, very much appreciated and I'll let you know how it
goes!
I'd like to hear about the optimisations, but I think I'll wait till I get
the system rebuilt!

Short answer: Yes. Go for it!
Longer answer: There are all kinds of things I want to say her
Thanks Bob, really can't thank you enough. Just to be clear about this, I'd
do these commands from the rescue disk after I have assembled the arrays
and gone to the bash shell?
Much appreciated,

I don't see sda anywhere. It might be a dual booting Windows disk?
Or other. But the BIOS will boot the first d

One other point sda isn't the boot hard drive, that's the partitions /sdb1
and sdc1, but these should be the same (I thought I'd mirrored them to be

I tried mdadm --detail /dev/sdd1 but it didn't work. I have these results
if they help?

Thanks Bob, I'll get back to after I've followed your instructions. I think
I'm going to have to learn to type with crossed fingers!
I think I initially sorted out all my partitions manually, rather than
directly using the installer to do it automatically,
Really appreciated,

So sdb3 and sdc3 are assembled into /dev/md126. That seems good. One
full array is assembled.
Is /dev/md126 your preferred name for that arra
Thanks Bob for your e-mail, it was really helpful. I think you've
identified the nub of the problem, not updating mdadm.conf and the
initramfs. However things are a bit unusual on the other side. I'm not
sure if the rescue disk or myself has screwed something up, but the second
raid which has home

Hi,
I have a debian machine which was on for a long time (~months). Just moved
house and rebooted and now it doesn't boot.
My 4 harddrives are organised in pairs of RAID 1 (Mirrored) with LVM
spanning them. Originally there was just one pair, but then I got two new
hard drives and added them. I th
