Well I've finally solved my problem by doing the following :



* disconnected all my sata disks, to force my raid1 array to be recognized first as \
md0

* removed one disk from my raid1 array

* reformatted the disk to remove the fd partition

* copied all data from the degraded raid to this "new" disk

* tried installing grub on the new disk but had trouble doing it from a live system, \
so finally did it from a knoppix bootdisk

* through evms deleted my raid0 array and all volumes resting on it

* reconnected my sata disks which now are recognized as md0



Now everything works fine, although I've lost my raid1 array ;-(



but I could always rebuild it if I wasn't afraid of facing the same problems at some \
later time....

Subject: Renumbered MD arrays causes EVMS to fail



Hi,I've upgraded my kernel to 2.6.17 from 2.6.9 and my raid arrays are now numbered \
differently than before causing evms to fail.Previously :md0 : raid1 with hda hdcmd1 \
: raid5 with sda sdb sdc sddnow my sata disks are picked up first as md0, while the \
IDE disks become md1. My problem is that my raid5 array has an LVM2 volume above it, \
which can't be recreated anymore.How can I either change the sequence in which they \
are identified or update EVMS to take into account the change \
