Hello,

I run raid 5 on my box, and recently had a disk failure. When I came to

raidhotadd /dev/md0 /dev/hde

I got the message

"/dev/md0: No such file or directory"

Likewise all my /dev/hd* are missing
however:

Code:

cat /proc/mdstat

Personalities : [raid5] [multipath]
read_ahead 1024 sectors
md0 : active raid5 ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1[1] ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1[0]
      77111808 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 3 [3/2] [UU_]
     
unused devices: <none>


which is all right. Also at boot time the disks are all recognised correctly.

Code:

Sep 19 00:50:36 cassini kernel: hda: 1065456 sectors (546 MB) w/120KiB Cache, CHS=528/32/63
Sep 19 00:50:36 cassini kernel: hdc: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=77545/16/63, (U)DMA
Sep 19 00:50:36 cassini kernel: hde: 78165360 sectors (40021 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=77545/16/63, UDMA(100)
Sep 19 00:50:36 cassini kernel: hdg: 80043264 sectors (40982 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=79408/16/63, UDMA(100)
Sep 19 00:50:36 cassini kernel: hdk: 120069936 sectors (61476 MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=119117/16/63, UDMA(100)



When booting the devfs bit has double exclamation marks, which I suspect is causing the problem. I have deleted and recreated /dev/devfs.d to no avail. What do I do to find out more about this problem?

I guess you already had a look, but maybe you can find some information in /var/log/* ?

I did, nothing glaringly obvious relating to /dev

I think its time for me to try a fresh install perhaps?
