[solved]RAID1 array is showing only one disk

Hi,
I configured RAID1 on my Arch Linux system. Sometime during the past few days (I don't know when) I think SATA cable of one of the disks (sda) went loose. I got a hint by some error messages in dmesg output.
I realized this only today. To minimize the damage I rebooted the system, made sure that all connectors are connected properly and booted it again. Now the system is up and running, but what I see is that only one disk is being used at this time around.
# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid1]
md0 : active raid1 sdc6[1]
915811008 blocks super 1.2 [2/1] [_U]
bitmap: 6/7 pages [24KB], 65536KB chunk
I want to enable the other disk as well. The other disk has sda6 as the partition with is used in RAID1 array.
Can somebody help me how to go about this? I don't want some inconsistency to creep in, because of my doing something wrong.

I am seeing the following. I am booting from this system and yet it says no md superblock detected on /dev/md0, while for the two partitions which are part of this RAID1 array there doesn't seem to be any problem.
This is getting confusing. Can somebody kindly comment?
# mdadm --examine /dev/md0
mdadm: No md superblock detected on /dev/md0.
# mdadm --examine /dev/sda6

    All my saved layers disappeared. Shows only one locked black layer.with red sripes

    Apple changed the save behaviour several times in the past few versions of MacOsX - there is a good article about this:
    http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/os-x-mountain-lion-how-apple-rescued-save-as
    The trouble is, you should (I know, not much of a help to you at this point) always create backups AND work with versions. So save many versions (x1, x1a, x2, x2a, etc), because when you work within one master file you run the risk of these type of accidents and there is always a tiny change your file becomes corrupt for some external reason. You never know. Disk space is cheap, losing your work is often a real hassle, and can become very problematic when dealing with clients.
    So, save many versions, and make backups of your work. And never NEVER open your original files in any other software - always use a duplicate. You never know what that software might do to your files.
    Anyway, have you tried searching for the file name on your mac? Maybe, just maybe there is a duplicate lying around somewhere with the layers intact.

  • How to show only one element in drop list(common VO)

    Hi All,
    I'm using 11g adf jdev.
    I have a common view object VO. In this VO one attribute is dropdown list , which i commonly used in some jsf pages .
    Now in one particular jsf page i want show only one element in the dropdown list .
    how can i handle with out distrib'g the common VO.
    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    BTW, why you want to display only one item in the list.
    If you are sure that the list will be having only one item, why don't you have it as inputText/outputText
    How do you filter out the item to be displayed in the list? If that filtering is done on listdatasource bound to the list, the list will automatically show only one item(i.e, the filtered item)

    Paul--you are a life-saver!! Worked great. I did have to look around to make sure I was getting 4.9 instead of 4.7 (even when the file was named 4.9 at techspot.com), but I finally got the right file, did the install as you suggested, and everything is now fine. One note, though, that I haven't seen mentioned in any of this thread: when I first tried to open up iTunes after getting back to 4.9, the following message appeared: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." I merely went to the old .itl file that was created when I did the update to iTunes 5, renamed it, moved it over to my now new 4.9, and iTunes opened fine. My library was a few days out of date, because of the few days' lag from the time I did the iTunes update, but that was easily taken care of, and everything's now working fine. Thanks again!!!

  • How do you show only one caller's video display wi...

    How do you show only one caller's video output with four people sharing a video call? i.e. the call originator wants to show a DVD video on a TV screen and the other callers want to view the video on full screen not just one fourth of their screen.

    Thought I'd try this just in case they are stripping out attachments.

  • How to make 1D Array but with only one element filled in Real Time

    Hi folks,
    here I am with another question. I want to implement an prediction discrete state space observer which is going to run on a CRIO real time target. I am going to do it just like in the example which comes with LV.
    I have some questions regarding the input and outputs which in the example those are "dummy".
    My model is a SISO model, but the function "Construct SS model" returns parameters (A,B,C,D Matrices) as 2D arrays, so once you connect the cluster model into the Discrete Observer model, it takes y and u as 1D arrays despite of the fact that there is a SISO model.
    I realized that the function I am using in the simulations, uses 1D arrays but with only one element filled:
    Does anyone knows how to implement such 1D arrays in Real Time? I guess the way to do it is preallocating one array of zeros of size 1, and then recirculating it through some SR, and replacing the element with my real input and output, but at the dummy.vi, they are using a simple "build array"
    function.

    Ok, I did it that way. But I am facing another problem right now...
    At some point the Discrete Observer return a NAN array, you will see the code in the code snippet?
    I get rid of that component by component, but the observer gets "stuck" in it. So my Control law is zero... but the state stimate is NAN.
    Also I am attaching the VI.
    I do not know why, since in the simulation program all runs well. any thoughts? Maybe the internal numeric precision of the State Space Model?

    why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
    Thanks,

  • Can I reinstall OS 10.4.8 with only one disk?

    I want to reinstall my Macbook Pro which is running 10.5.8.  I found the original Install disk with OS 10.4.8, but only one.
    Can I go ahead and reinstall using only one disk? Or will it give me problems?
    Thanks!

    If you wish to reinstall OS X then you want the discs used for the Leopard you are now using. To reinstall Tiger requires you first erase the hard drive.
    Your computer came with two discs. Disc 1 installs OS X. Disc 2 includes additional software such as XCode.

  • Preview shows only one page of article

    I have a 23-page portrait-only article for which I can preview only one page.  Normally it is the first page, but if I click on any other page, the preview shows that page -- but the slider on the bottom of Content Viewer shows only the first page regardless of what page is in the preview window.  I'm a newbie at this, and this is my second article; the first one worked just fine.  Put them together in a folio, in either order, and the "normal" one shows all pages, and the other shows only page 1.  Any thoughts?
    Jose

    Silly newbies... I read some of the layout options in Plain English.  Apparently, if the article isn't set to "horizontal swipe only" it's on vertical swipe only, not "optional."  The Aha! moment came from accidentally brushing the mouse so that the preview scrolled upward, revealing the pages hidden below.  Now I get it.

  • How do I show only ONE iCal calendar at a time?

    I'm using iCal to manage several different calendars on different websites and also have different calendars of my own. Currently they all show in iCal and this is getting very difficult to manage. How do I adjust iCal to show only the events associated with one calendar, e.g. the calendar I have clicked on, rather than all of them? Do they all have to show?

    Thanks - that's better than nothing, but switching them off/ on is still a bit fiddly as I will want to update different calendars frequently.
    I was hoping that it would be possible to set it up to simply show the calendar you had clicked on on at the moment, and also to set a default set of calendars to be on as a group (i.e. those I use to organise my own time).
    With one click I could then go from my personal calendars to one used for an external website and back again.

  • Preview of some flattened TIFFs show only one of the original layers

    When I flatten the files that I have been working on into TIFFs for delivery to clients, sometimes the preview (or thumb nail) shows only a single layer of the original layered file that I was working with. When the file is opened in photoshop, the complete image is there. Is this a bug or is there a way to correct this before I flatten the image? Btw, I have seen this same issue through many versions of photoshop... from CS3 through CS6. When saving the same flattened image as a JPG, the preview saves correctly.

    [This is a rewritten post because I posted some garbage first time. ]
    I was pretty sure you were going to say OS X.
    Is there an alpha channel (possibly used to store a selection) in the problem files?
    On a Mac, if there's exactly one alpha channel in a TIFF, the system interprets that alpha channel as transparency when it generates a preview. And if there's more than one alpha channel then the preview sometimes will be weirdly coloured.
    Save As TIFF has a checkbox for inclusion of alpha channels, so clear that when exporting your flattened TIFF.
