Hi guys,<br>
<br>I tried to upgrade F11 with soft raid F12. So far I used yum to
upgrade Fedora 1 up to F11. My yum update went wrong and my server wes
forcefully rebooted in the middle so none kernel from F11 works anymore.<br>
<br>After I booted F12 DVD - if I select "Install or Upgrade" and
"Replace existing Linux System" the probem is that my original raid
raids are not mounted. I can see:<br><br><6>md6: radi1: raid set md0 active with 2 out of 2 mirrors<br>
<6>md0: detected capacity change from 0 to xxxx <br>
<br><3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 0"<br>...<br><3>"Buffer I/O error on device md0, logical block 9"<br><6>md0: detected capacity change from xxxx to 0<br>...<br><6>md: md0 is stopped<br>
<br>This whole raid process repeats iteslf several times and it takes about 10-15 minutes.<br><br>However with "Replace existing Linux System" option, raid arrays are not mounted successfuly and I cannot install F12 over F11.<br>
<br>But when I select rescue option from F12 DVD, the same errors are
displayed but my all old arrays are eventually mounted, so I can see
all the files. Also once arrays are mounted they appear working and
healthy.<br><br>
Do you please have any hint how can I refresh or repair my md arrayrs
so it does not take ages before these are mounted and at the first
place they are mounted every time?<br>Is there any safe raid command I can do in rescue mode so this is achieved and I won't loss my data?<br>
Do you think that my raid arrays created in times of Fefdora 1 can cause this problem?<br><br>This situation is very painful as I killed my day today trying to fix it without luck :(<br><br>Thank you very much gyus,<br><br>
Jaiv<br><br>PS:
During my initial tries I reinstalled swap (as it was encrypted on the
old system and Anaconda always asked for pw which I do not have) and I
did it with the command:<br>mkswap -f -L swap /dev/VolGrolup00/LogVol00<br>
Do you think I could have damaged my raid arrays by using "-f" option?
