Allo all,
I've run into a spot of bother (understatement of the year) while upgrading Ubuntu to 10.4. More specifically, after upgrading, the device names of my drives seem to have shuffled around a bit, and raid5 (softraid) broke. I'm unable to rebuild the array, as it seems to value the old device names more highly than the uuid's, and errors out.
Pastebin of the current drive situation is at http://www.pastebin.com/2AT9fQYF . The drives used to be sda, sdb and sdc, but somehow the dvd drive took over sdb post-upgrade. You can see my attempts to sort the situation here, and the results: http://www.pastebin.com/t8wPxZHu .
What is in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf? Does this limit the way the drives are scanned or name particular devices for a particular array?
HTH, Steve.
