Howdy, |

|

This is the first time I've played with a software raid and it looks |
4 |
like I'm missing a part. |
5 |
|
6 |
The raid5 consists of three AHCI 1TB drives (sdb1,sdc1,sdd1) assembled |
7 |
as /dev/md1 and formatted ext3. The raid is just a data drive mounted |
8 |
on /var/media. |
9 |
|
10 |
Here's the array line from /etc/mdadm.conf: |
11 |
|
12 |
ARRAY /dev/md1 level=raid5 num-devices=3 |
13 |
UUID=32d159bf:9c7d988b:1caf26c5:a35f83fb |
14 |
|
15 |
After boot, /dev/md1 does not exist. |
16 |
|
17 |
I can run: |
18 |
|
19 |
mdadm --assemble /dev/md1 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 |
20 |
|
21 |
which starts /dev/md1 then I can mount the raid fine. |
22 |
|
23 |
I've tried adding: |
24 |
|
25 |
DEVICE /dev/sd[bcd]1 |
26 |
|
27 |
to /etc/mdadm.conf, no observable effect. |
28 |
|
29 |
/etc/init.d/mdadm is in the boot rc level and is running after boot (I |
30 |
was expecting this to start the array). |
31 |
|
32 |
Looking thru dmesg and /var/log/messages, it looks like there are no |
33 |
attempts to start the array until I manually try. |
34 |
|
35 |
Any hints on what I'm missing? |
36 |
|
37 |
TIA, |
38 |
Roy |
