    So wiping sdc or sdb? In other words, there is no way to sync those two drives back to how they were? Im not sure i understand the point of raid 1 then ?( . If sdb is dependent on something on sdc, wouldnt that defeat the purpose of raid, in that i cannot restore it after a potential drive failure? Oh well, the data wasnt all that important any way, guess i will wipe and start from fresh. Thanks for the help!

    Ahh rookie mistake :/


    However, now im getting this:

    Code
    root@openmediavault:~# mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc

    mdadm: /dev/sdc has no superblock - assembly aborted

    Cool! Didnt know that. When i try that i get:

    Code
    root@openmediavault:~#  mdadm --stop /dev/md0                                                                                              
    mdadm: stopped /dev/md0      
    root@openmediavault:~# mdadm --assemble --force --verbose /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc/                                                      
    mdadm: looking for devices for /dev/md0                                                                                                    
    mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdc/: Not a directory                                                                                       
    mdadm: /dev/sdc/ has no superblock - assembly aborted


    sdc - "not a directory". Do i need to create a filesystem first on sdc or something? Also it seems the superblock is missing. I know that there is a --zero-superblock flag, however no entirely sure how to use it. Thanks for the help so far!

    After having removed and mounted a disk (sdc) on a different computer, my raid 1 array now does not appear in the web GUI under raid management when returned to my server.

       devices=/dev/sdb


    As far as i can tell the device sdb still is listed as a raid member. However, in trying to rebuild the array (by adding sdc) gives the following error:

    Code
    root@openmediavault:~#  mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc/
    mdadm: /dev/sdb is busy - skipping
    mdadm: cannot open device /dev/sdc/: Not a directory
    mdadm: /dev/sdc/ has no superblock - assembly aborted


    Keep in mind that im new to OMV and mdadm, just in case the above command is not how you are supposed to do it :P . Tried following tips found here, however to no avail. Any help is appreciated!
