Rebuilding a Raid 1

[Dead Gardens]

Hi Heinz, thanks for your response!

I tried with mdadm --detail --scan but don't show anything.  Maybe I forgetting something.

It's running with this version of mdadm
mdadm - v2.6.9 - 10th March 2009

there is a way to fix this with mdadm? 

Thanks!

    Have you tried mdadm? isw should be driven via md by now.

             I'm trying to rebuild a raid 1
              (dmraid+isw) unsuccessfully. I replaced the failed disk
              with a new one and the BIOS added it automatically to the
              raid.
              Running kernel 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5.

              

              

              # dmraid -r

              

              

              /dev/sda: isw, "isw_babcjifefe", GROUP, ok,
                1953525165 sectors, data@ 0

                /dev/sdb: isw, "isw_babcjifefe", GROUP, ok, 1953525165
                sectors, data@ 0
