reboot...<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I had a similar problem, here are the things I did wrong:
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>a) I didn't create a partition on the drives of the correct "Autodetect
RAID type", was setting up the RAID on the raw disks instead</DIV>
<DIV>b) I didn't create the /etc/mdadm.conf</DIV>
<DIV>c) I didn't have the mdadm stuff in my init scripts....</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>My suggestions, setup the raid, check out the contents of /proc/mdstat
after everything is all synched up, reboot... If the raid volume is there, you
should be golden to proceed with LVM. Otherwise, try starting it manually with
mdadm... If that doesn't work, post the output of your /proc/mdstat to the list
and any applicable dmesg stuff...</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=829420415-28072006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm using mdadm to
create a raid1 array on knoppmyth R5C7. I thought that I had overcome all the
problems since the raid array seemed to work fine--I even configured LVM on
top of it. But when I rebooted the whole thing just disappeared, as if mdadm
forgot that it ever existed. Please note, I'm not trying to boot of the raid
array (not yet), just get it up and running so that I can transfer my
knoppmyth distrobution over to it... Can anyone suggest what I might be doing
wrong?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
