Re: Upgrade to linux-3.0.6-1 causes no boot(Success with fewer devices in

Posting blkid from present boot into linux 3.0 showing a different uuid for the /dev/md0 than those for the raid devices.  It is also different from what was given to it in the .iso install, therein it was the same as the two raid devices (non-sub uuid).

I was under the impression uuid was permanent for a given device........
sh-4.2# blkid
/dev/sdd2: UUID="4a16e80d-1cdf-4461-aed4-689350c2c0b4" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdc2: UUID="a8c739b8-af37-b8fb-9c51-c5618c4d2545" UUID_SUB="27af2a91-1121-dcc9-1c9b-add0fc16678c" LABEL="archiso:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
/dev/sdb2: UUID="a8c739b8-af37-b8fb-9c51-c5618c4d2545" UUID_SUB="ad29fc37-8741-3258-a383-1b336dcd3b03" LABEL="archiso:0" TYPE="linux_raid_member"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="ARCH_201108" TYPE="udf"
/dev/sdc1: UUID="b1a189f4-6708-437d-a335-d4fd9cc6ee55" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sdb1: UUID="06652432-dc62-4e88-86c3-9b301a1ddf74" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sdd1: UUID="909993fb-bc95-4b3b-999e-15e6953a564a" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sdd3: UUID="0e55cd32-ad2e-44a9-92d2-6f089176bf1a" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sdd4: UUID="5b9804e6-0076-47d4-abd4-dfd300907013" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sde1: UUID="909993fb-bc95-4b3b-999e-15e6953a564a" TYPE="ext2"
/dev/sde2: UUID="4a16e80d-1cdf-4461-aed4-689350c2c0b4" TYPE="swap"
/dev/sde3: UUID="d4df3e26-4890-4cbc-ac71-4919c9e54dfc" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/sde4: UUID="5b9804e6-0076-47d4-abd4-dfd300907013" TYPE="ext3"
/dev/md0: UUID="21051486-3736-4e32-ad55-7fd2fbbb7fe2" TYPE="ext3"
sh-4.2#

EDIT:  In ramfs prompt during boot attempt  of the new install blkid shows no /dev/md0 listing which suggests that mdadm has been ignored for raid but the two raid devices are correctly set up with uuid and raid nomenclature.  Only /dev/md0 is missing and its uuid.  How can this be?

Re: Upgrade to linux-3.0.6-1 causes no boot(Success with fewer devices in

Opened /etc/mdadm.conf in this hdd boot-up and it shows the uuid of the two raid devices but the name of the /dev/md0 has been corrupted by the .iso:

ARRAY /dev/md/archiso:0 metadata=1.2 name=archiso:0 UUID=a8c739b8:af37b8fb:9c51c561:8c4d2545

How does this happen?

This data obtained in HDD boot-up.  Interesting that /devmd0 has differing superblock reports.

Re: Upgrade to linux-3.0.6-1 causes no boot(Success with fewer devices in

Performed the dd command on two 16gb cf drives having raid0 Archlinux bootable to a pair of new 16GB drives successfully.  These then contained raid0 bootable kernel26v39.

Upon booting up, performed ....pacman -Syu..... and downloaded 316 packages including the latest Linux.  This took around 2 1/2 hours.  These were installed to /dev/md0 in the raid0 array.  The conflicts were resolved before install ran.

After install completed, rebooted.  The arch prompt appeared and loading began but /dev/md0 required fsck.

Rebooted to another arch system and performed a long e2fsck which resulted in a clean /dev/md0.

Rebooted into the raid0 pair and was successful in reaching xfce4 Desktop.

The procedure was performed weeks ago with a fauilure so I can only assume that the latest Linux-3.0.7-1 corrected the difficulty or corrupted downloads introduced the failed attempt.

The combo in raid0 boots in ten seconds as does the original raid0 using kernel26.

Hdparm with these 16gb devices reports a more sedate 122 MB/s for /dev/md0.

Thus, the upgrade is now history!
