disk mess up

    I did do something wrong I think
    installed omv, the installation disk was sda
    added two 1tb disks they turned to sdb and sdc.
    created a raid 1 array from sdb and sdc
    created a ext 4 filesystem to the raid. Everything turned to be fine.
    Added a fourth disk which became sdd
    Created a filesystem ext 4 and mounted it stil everything went smooth.
    after unmounting and removing that disk my raid array degraded.
    after rebooting I had two raid array's.
    The former sda disk became sdd is this normal?
    can it be restored one way or the other?

    ... seems to be similar to the issues I'm facing right now.


    Installed OMV on a drive which originally was /dev/sda (like the manual says, all other drives shall be removed for installation).
    Then added 4 HDD's for a raid array (array allready existing on these drives).
    Now the OMV-System drive became /dev/sde - and I have a lot of troubles with the raid, which is not assembling on startup and I get two completely bogus arrays ....


    One thing I found: In my installation all the partitions on the OMV-drive are mounted to a /media/USBx moutpoint, but still using the original drivenames (/dev/sda).


    I changed that, but have to wait another hour to check if this really was the issue - need to wait for the Array to recover once again .....

    Tried also freenas but setting up shares with the correct persmissions is hard. But when I encounter this kind of probs with omv that's much harder. And I want to use removable media.
    Maybe I am going to setup ubuntu server, that is a thing I can manage. Then I can use it as a printserver as well.

    reinstalled omv, made sure the boot disk was on sata port 0. Made an Array of disk 2 and 3. went well.
    After adding a fourth disk, (wich I want to use for remote backup purposes), mounted it and created a filesystem unmounted it and removed it. The system stopped working.
    After a reboot I ended up with 2 raid 1 array md126 and md127. On this moment the booth disk remained sda

    Don't know if my problem is solved but is doesn't appear anymore. I did do a complete reistallation after I formatted the disks with a ubuntu live cd.
    Raid stays clean now and it remains md127 consisting of sdb and sdc.
    I didn't do much experimenting with the removable disk.
