Hello -
I am having a problem with my Raid-1 array and I am hoping I could find some help here. I have two 205 GB disks and I am NOT using the array for boot. I have gone through all the steps that (I believe) are needed, however, the array doesn't work when I reboot. After reboot, if I type the two following commands, everything works like a charm. So, my question is...what am I missing?
Here are the two commands that, once typed after reboot, everything is splendid:
sudo mdadm --assemble /dev/md0
sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/md0 /media/raid1/
The two disks that make up the array are SATA, 250 GB and /dev/sdb and /dev/sdc.
The contents of the critical files are as shown below.
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf:
DEVICE /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
# auto-create devices with Debian standard permissions
CREATE owner=root group=disk mode=0660 auto=yes
# automatically tag new arrays as belonging to the local system
HOMEHOST <system>
# instruct the monitoring daemon where to send mail alerts
MAILADDR thad
# definitions of existing MD arrays
ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid1 num-devices=2 UUID=8ac89895:88b5997c:a95107c4:8449513d

# RAID-1 (twin 250 GB HDDs)
/dev/md0 /media/raid1 ext3 defaults 0 0
Also, I am running Ubuntu 8.04, 32-bit version.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
