RAID missing components on fedora 16 startup
Hello,
I have a RAID-1 array on my system and since I installed fedora 16, the array very often starts with only 1 out of 2 mirrors:
[ 15.501909] md: raid1 personality registered for level 1
[ 15.502274] md/raid1:md1: active with 1 out of 2 mirrors
It is always the same mirror that is missing.
The array never had a single problem with fedora 15.
What could be causing the problem and how can it be fixed? It takes 4 hours to rebuild the data and having to manually rebuild the array at each boots pretty much defeats the purpose of having a RAID-1 configuration.

Here you go
$ cat /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd.lvm.lv=system/fedora16"

Remove rd.md=0
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#MD
i.e
Code:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Fedora"
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="rd.dm=0 KEYTABLE=us quiet SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 rhgb rd.luks=0 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 rd.lvm.lv=system/fedora16"
Then run
Code:
su
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Reboot to see if it helps

Re: RAID missing components on fedora 16 startup
Thanks for the help.
So far it looks like it works. The RAID "failure" was not 100% so I'll be more confident after a few days without any problem.
Shouldn't anaconda create the file without that option knowing that there are some RAID arrays on the system?
