Thread: RAID won't assemble before boot
i have ubuntu server 10.04 lts system software raid , lvm, on dell poweredge r710. when try boot, fails assemble of arrays, , fails boot.
vexing boots fine off of boot cd (systemrescuecd, if helps).
disk info:
* 4 disks (2 250g, 2 500g), 3 partitions on first set of disks , none on second.
* /boot on own raid1, assembles correctly (/dev/md0)
* swap on raid1, assembles correctly (/dev/md1)
* root (/) on raid1, fails assemble (/dev/md2)
since root fails assemble, lvm fails initialize, , drops initramfs. however, inside of initramfs, can run "mdadm --assemble /dev/md2 /dev/sdc /dev/sdd" , assembles fine. @ point boot normally.
things i've tried:
1) updating kernel, including installing backports 3.0.
2) adding rootdelay grub
neither of these worked.
suggestions?
what have in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf?
and, what's output of once it's assembled?code:cat /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
if have formatted mdadm.conf file, you'll might need update initramfs working.code:cat /proc/mdstat mdadm --detail --scan
code:update-initramfs -u
